The moon is full, it’s light outside. The moon is orange. It sure is pretty.

The moon is full here but it is a stark WHITE.... and looks as cold as it is getting out there. Down to 40 already.... BRRRRR

The DH says we had a "Blood Moon" here. The earth is between the moon and sun. The sun's rays shine through earth's atmosphere onto the moon giving it a red orange appearance. Here the best viewing time was 1:00 am on 11/8. DH waited up to see it and said it was a dark reddish orange. It happens about every 18 months. I have seen it a couple of times but prefer the bright white full moon.

If that’s a blood moon, then it happens here more frequently. I think this is the second time since September and it’s orange for several days.

Taking a break. Been over to son’s house, getting stuff out of portable building, that I can carry. Brought a truckload, unloaded into those scrap built buildings. I’ll go make another load. Everything I can get saves time tomorrow

Son got new tires all way around on one of his old tractors yesterday. Starter went out this morning. BWA-HAHA-HAHA!! Won’t start but it sure looks good.

Won’t start but it sure looks good.

I'm sure it's maddening but funny!

Like mine was....new parts arrived, I installed and battery dead

I think the "blood moon is more red than yellow or orange. Isn't a "harvest moon" yellowy orange? The blood moon phenomenon is only seen when the sun, earth, and moon align just right. Kind of like a lunar or solar eclipse it only occurs in one part of the country. Other parts of the country will see it different times of the year(s).

Bennet’s cousin, Lee’s cows got out. So they got someone else to help Cowboy those cows, plus dogs and came back with nary a cow. Cows scattered in all directions. It’s a mix of open pastures and thick woods and lousy fences. The truck and trailer went back towards Bennet’s and Bennet on horseback. Then here come some cows, just a running, they veered off into the 40 acres on the other side of me and disappeared. I sent a text to Peggy and pretty soon, here come Bennet and Lee in a truck, looking around. They just came back on horseback with dogs. It will be dark in an hour. If the cows go through that fence, they may wind up on a clear cut that has hundreds of acres.

So that’s been the afternoon excitement here. I was thinking of @farmerjan and how she doesn’t put up with crazy cows. It seems that’s all Lee has! Hahaha! Keeping my front gate closed, don’t want a bunch of stupid cows in here.

Well.....this is WHY we train to come to a call/feed.

Plus, you cannot get a response when they first get loose. Let them settle from excitement. Then they will return to feed....if they know what it is.

Hey...some excitement on a dead end road!. You just say, glad they're not mine!

AMEN.....!!!!

Not funny, but I can't help but snicker a little. Brahma's have a reputation of being high strung... like longhorns and others like that. BUT.... you can train any breed to come to feed and such and like @Mini Horses said... LET THEM SETTLE and DO NOT GO AFTER THEM with a bunch of strangers and stuff like that.... If they are not worked with some on top of that... well, you have a situation like they have now...
And yep... if they are nuts and the fences are not good... then you get what you deserve.....
