August 12, 1963
Monday, cloudy in am, clearing around noon and becoming cloudy later, 60’s. I washed. The cows and calves gone again. Wayne, the girls and I found them but couldn’t get them.
Comment: Not sure why they couldn't get the cows. Sounds like there may be a renegade leader in the herd that is leading them off. Could be a new cow. They were probably driving around the roads and saw them but could not get to them for some reason. They may be very skittish and running from humans. So, the only thing you can do is lure them in with grain or get behind them and herd them in the direction of the barn..Pain in the ass..lot's of times it was a good thing we were not carrying guns when we were herding cows..there would have been a lot more dead ones....
