Neighbors yelling from the ranch front gate!
Xenia: Well, I guess I should find the breach in the fence
Neighbor: There's no breach in the fence
Xenia: Did the stork drop your bull into the back range?
Xenia: OH CRAP!
The bull ripped up the adjoining neighbors chain link fence and crawled under it. Then walked right through the livestock panel. Dennis placed a wooden crate in front of the ripped-up chain link fence to keep the sheep in-range while wrangling the neighbors bull off the property.
Neighbors, Dennis and Xenia wrangling the bull for about 15 minutes. That bull really wanted to get in with the heifers and mate. The Heifers are always sweeter on the other side! (LOL!).

After 15 minutes, Xenia goes and gets the camera (LOL!)
Dennis has been nursing an injured leg for about 3 weeks and was limited in his ability to run. I have slept for about 2 hours since the 28th of June. CRAZY!
Another 15 minutes of wrangling and out the gate the bull goes.
