farm story!

so its been a long time since i've had a good farm learning story... well i've got one!

last weekend marks parents asked if i could come over and help them sort calves. it was time for them to be weighed and sold to our buyer. so i said i would come help. first we had to get all the cows up to the barn, then we had to sort the cows from the calves. once that was done, which went very smoothly, unlike last time we sorted the cows from calves when it was time for their needles, and they all decided they didn't want to go into the barn and ran out into the yard through the soupy goopy shit, and i got splattered with it... all over haha. its like a right of passage. haha. so this time i was shit free, which was nice. so after we got the cows and calves seperated it was time to seperate the steers and heifers. and then also they ones that were staying and the ones that were going. sound complicated yet? haha so we put them all into one pen and then were going to let them out one at a time and guide them into the different pens according to who and where they were going. so i was incharge of opening the gates. and everything was going great, i was on top of the ball, at least i thought so. untill i met #3heifer... she was our 3rd last heifer to be sorted and sold, and she didn't want to go where we needed her to go. so as i was ducked down behind the gate, she decided she wanted to go through the other one, leaped up and tried to jump the gate, i looked up in time to see her foot coming towards me, i moved out of the way intime to avoid being kicked, and she went over the gate into the wrong pen! after i got up off the floor of the barn and checked to make sure i was ok. which i was, so even though i made it threw sorting them in the barn yard, without anyshit, i didn't make it out of the barn without any shit. this time i was in my pants though... hahaha well close enough to it.
