I hope you figure out what were out there, maybe trot the dogs out that way to see if they can pick up a sent from urine or something to see if there was something out there spooking the horse and sheep?

I'm sure by now whatever it was is long gone. I'm not too worried, nobody got hurt so its all good.

Did you ever figure out what had them spooked?

No I haven't. I was watching Brandy at the bale feeder and she kept looking south at something and even she didn't stay up there long. Dogs have been quiet all morning.

Something has them all weirded out today.

Coyotes usually can’t resist checking things out. Hope it’s not a big cat!

We all have a touch of that genetic memory of the saber-toothed tiger lurking in our subconscious!

Spears are ok for badgers and whatnot, but for big cats, I prefer something with knock-down power from a distance.

You nailed the description of Cows perfectly, I raise cattle myself so know your description was spot on. Also finally subscribed, thanks for the blog.

Thank you. We ran cows for many years. Decided to just concentrate on sheep now. Thank you for becoming a subscriber! I am grateful for your support!

Okay, you have a House Wolf which is comforting. But I do believe you must come to the realization that your sheep are possessed and constantly plotting against you. They know how to get better and more food from you, and you fall for it every time!
