Stuck at HIllcrest Farms


    We were gathering cows and calves this morning at Hillcrest Farms so we could vaccinate all and tattoo and tag the calves.  I had to back up to reposition and I was closer to the fence than I thought when I felt a 'bump'.  I thought I had hit the fence so I placed the truck in first and tried to pull forward bu to my surprise I was going nowhere.


    I had backed up on the only stump in the fencerow and it had lifted the rear of the truck.  We had the cattle moving so we had to finish following them on foot.  We completed our task of 'working' the cattle and :


    Glen and his son Chris (on tractor) and I went back to the truck and pulled it from the stump.  I was afraid that it might tear up the fence but we were luckier than that as were immediately able to start gathering the bulls from another pasture so we could 'work' them also.  It was a long tiring day but we had a lot of fun 'carrying-on' also.
