which_chickRelatively uninteresting horse morning. Did feet and saddling with Mezcal, took a walk with Nick to where Barkman's fence ends (this is further than yesterday, which was to where Barkman's fence STARTED).
Today I discovered that there is a Black Angus bull in the field across from Dottie's. Yes, a bull. If he had been a steer, I would have said 'steer' two sentences ago. I assure the studio audience that, the movie City Slickers notwithstanding, telling a bull from a steer isn't rocket science. Bovine testicles are huge and difficult to mistake for anything else.
Not many people keep bulls these days since AI (Artificial Insemination, not Artificial Intelligence) for bovines is so damn commonplace. As we walked by, the bull trotted heavily (Black Angus are a beef breed, sturdy and chunky. They are not even remotely svelte.) over to the fence and snorted repeatedly at us. It was cool enough out this morning that his snorts were visible. Nick was not impressed.
Not sure what the heck a Black Angus is? Here's a selection of Black Angus bulls you can buy in conveniently packaged serving sizes. (There is a pun here. If you do not get the pun, mention it in the comment section and I will explain the pun.)
I also unloaded my pickup truck, which had a load of free wood in the back of it. Some of it will fit in my woodstove. Some of it will not. I will have to stack the stuff that will fit later this week. I want to get it done before the weekend because that's when I plan to address the rest of the woodpile problem.
