He called me out not long after, we had a visitor.
I wanted to keep it. She wasn't very old and was very cute. Took some photos of her and hoped that she'd jump the fence back to the neighbour's paddock, as she was fretting about being on her own.
She did jump the fence... onto the driveway and then out onto the service road. The one next to the main highway!
Michael and I took off after her. She crossed the highway three times in our attempts to get her into the neighbour's paddock. She was almost a kilometre down the road when Michael went back for his car. He managed to keep her on our side of the highway and pushed her towards a gate, but I couldn't get the gate open. I was running beside the road, to ensure she didn't run across the road again.
Luckily the other neighbour, Craig (the one that lost his hayshed in the fire) pulled up. Turns out, it was his heifer. He was able to walk her back to his driveway, whilst I drove his car back. We had a lovely chat about the fire and tractors and schools before heading home again - and al before 10am.
The heifer is friendly with little Isabelle's pony, Sandwich. They were very pleased to be together again.
And this afternoon will be shearing, should get a workout from that as well. Will appoint Michael as official photographer.
