Cattle into the hayfield

This morning I found number 7 in the corral.  She reached through the fence into the north pasture and the top wire broke and she went into the north pasture and then the corral.  When the cattle got up from their siesta in the middle pasture and headed to the south pasture number 7 started bellowing.  So I herded her into the middle pasture.  She then stood there and bellowed for her calf to come.  The whole herd came.  I got a few bags of apples and gave them to the cattle.  Number 7 did not go for apples; she stood and fed her calf.  Once the cattle ate all the apples they cried out for more.  My spoiled cattle.

Time for the cattle to go into the hayfield.  First I had to cattle proof some fences.

Extra posts and field fence otherwise the cattle will break this section of fence once again.

Protect the tree else the cattle will reach through the fence once again to eat the leaves.
