He&#8217;s been complaining about baby calves. They move too slow. He really could get there faster if we just left them behind.<\/p>\n<p>Strangely enough, he complained about this job too. You might almost think he doesn&#8217;t want to do anything but tricks.<\/p>\n<p>I needed to check some fence. It would be faster and easier to take a 4wheeler. But, Rusty is under vet&#8217;s orders to get exercise. So I saddled him up, threw fence pliers and some staples in a saddle bag, and off we went. It was a beautiful day. The wind wasn&#8217;t blowing too bad yet. It was too hot or too cold. Just nice. The fence was in mostly good shape, just had to get off to put a few staples in. There were a few places where the wire was twisted. If he would just stand still next to it I could untwist it without getting off.<\/p>\n<p>If he would just stand still next to it.<\/p>\n<p>He wouldn&#8217;t. That was really too much to ask. He pawed, he pranced, he circled, anything but holding still. So we practiced standing still. He needs so much more of this. <a href=\"https:\/\/pumpkinvinefarms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2024\/05\/PXL_20240502_164750610.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-image-0\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-5263\" src=\"https:\/\/pumpkinvinefarms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2024\/05\/PXL_20240502_164750610-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pumpkinvinefarms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2024\/05\/PXL_20240502_164750610-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/pumpkinvinefarms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2024\/05\/PXL_20240502_164750610-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/pumpkinvinefarms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/19\/2024\/05\/PXL_20240502_164750610.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rusty got put to a different type of work today.
