Started new 1750s homesite.. No Bull!!!!

MonkeyBoy · Dec 15, 2008

I received permission for two more 1750s house sites.. both pretty big.. went out yesterday and started a quick run through all the fields just sort of scouting out the land. I was in one of the pastures. Nice low grass, ground nice and moist.. and I had just dug a 1887 IH when all the cows decided to come check me out.. no big deal.. I got up.. filled my hole and happen to glance over and see one damn big cow... and then realized it was the bull!!! Man.. he was huge.. looking right at me and about 15 feet away! I decided to make a strategic retreat to a sunken roadbed with some tree cover and see what his temperament was... after awhile he seemed OK so I move into the lower pasture and hooked back up the house and started hitting the yard.. Glad he was a "nice" bull... not like the last one I ran into!!!

Total for the day was the IH... couple of Wheaties.. and a nice crotal bell... pics later since it was late when I got back..
