On the day Theo came back home (Friday), our new little bull calf was delivered to us. Our plan for him was that he would "service" Faith this summer and give us meat by the end of fall. His plan for us was to get out of the trailer, get scared, jump the fence and run away in the wood. Here goes another hole in the bank account!
Since then (today's Sunday) there is (hopefully) a little guy running, being afraid, hungry and thirsty if not worse because the poor guy is injured and bleeding and I could see that the coyotes were tracking him as well.
I've been tracking him for the past 2 days in the area without any luck (so far) until our neigbour found new tracks yesterday. So, I'm going back out there today armed with hope and Theo to try and find him.
So, a very expensive 24h for us. Hopefully we'll find him today, alive or dead but at least we'll know. I truly hope he's still alive, doing "well" in the wild or that he may have joined one of our neigbours cattle and he's just blending in, getting food everyday. Time will tell.
March 23... I must admit I kinda forgot about that blog (sorry!). Good news is, Chester is back!!! After a total of 5 days looking for him, deep in the snow (the story began at the beginning of March remember!!!), with blisters on both my feet, he just showed up in the field with Faith!!! So we're happy to report that Chester is back, safe and sound with us! Happy ending, YAY!
