The Great COW Escapade!

PART THREE:

I am ready to finish this series on the cows escaping. I’ll tell you about two of the cows first. They found two of the missing three cows the same day that they started looking for them but then scared them into running off our property into the Audubon Forest. I don’t exactly know what that is. You’d have to ask someone who’s lived in New Hampshire longer than I have and knows the area better than I do. So they were trying to chase the cows and I’m not exactly sure of the whole story but I think that they lost them for a little bit since this Audubon Forest is like 600-700 acres big. Our CEO alerted our neighbors and one of the neighbors called at like 10 o’ clock at night and said that they found two of our cows. Our Director of B&M (Building&Maintenence) went and walked the cows up to our property. He wasn’t leading the cows, the cows were leading him. He was just walking behind them, making sure that they kept on going all the way up to our property. He said that it took him about 30-45 minutes or so. The cows were worn out and tired so they just walked right into their pen. 

Now about the third cow. A bit of background first, a young adult group from Connecticut came up to His Mansion to serve for the weekend. Late on Saturday night (the 30th), a few of them decided to go to McD’s right in Hillsboro. They passed a police car which was baby-sitting a cow. The people from the Connecticut group called to let us know where the third cow was. So our CEO and Director of B&M came down and looked after the cow. They decided to put the cow in a pasture with a bunch of other cows. I think that our CEO knew the owner of the pasture, I’m not sure. But they just penned the cow in there for the night. The next day, they took the stock trailer in there and with bit of coaxing, the cow walked into the trailer and they hauled it back up to the property.

Now, these cows really went wandering around. People spotted them walking around on some of the nearby roads. Our CEO was really worried about them and as it grew later, he decided to put a bounty on their heads. He was going to shoot them, had a freezer ready to chill the meat and everything. But nothing of that sort happened. All three cows are safe and sound back at our barn. Everybody was glad and relieved that the whole thing was over. That’s the end of the this series. Hope you enjoyed it! Signing off now. -DL

P.S. There is never a dull moment around here! And if we still lived in Portland, we would never get to experience all of this. Cows are also not very smart animals.

P.P.S. You don’t have to be very smart to catch cows, you just have to be (do you know where I’m going with this?) smarter than the cows. I thought that that would be funny especially after my last P.S. So I hope that some of you thought that that was funny. If not, that’s okay. I’m not a comedian, honestly, I’m not.
