Yeah I thought I had it going better, but went out back yesterday and there sits the same gal leaning and looking for my pups out back. I walked over closer and she wheels back into her parents house. I walk the fenceline and see my electric strand is down and all the insulators pulled off. Going to have to involve the county now I think. Then as I'm fixing the wire I overhear some over zealous kids at the other corner if my property. A young new family of renters playing in the yard and they see my cattle. They instantly became fixated with them and start yelling to their parents that their new place comes with cows. Wtfreak? As they get closer to my fence my dogs charge the fence, stop about 30 feet from it and start barking at them. It keeps the kids off the fence, but nonetheless excited about "their new cows" the parents come over near the kids and look at me working on the fence. They become excited too and say, "wow we've never been in a place with cows"! All the while the dogs are going off saying to them otherwise. I walked over to them and they turned and walked off. So I added some signs to that stretch of fence. Bilingual signs at that, even though they were speaking English, they're a family of Hispanics and I dont want or need a language barrier excuse to come up all of a sudden if or when they get shocked by the fence, chased by my dogs for coming over the fence if they do, or anything else that could occur. It may be time to sell the place and move way out of town. Lol. They are breaking ground on a 50 acre community park across the street from my home. As they are building a massive housing complex in the 200 acres that just last year was still being used to grow and bale hay.
