Two weeks ago we had an appointment with a butcher in Ironton for
two cows.  There was weather moving into our area, and it was
quite cold.  Kent and I had moved the cows a few days before.
That required moving lots of cattle panels and rebuilding the pen
by the loading shoot. 

The day they were due at the butcher, Kent and Tyler had them
loaded and took off at sunrise.  They drove north and when they
had about an hour left to travel they hit ice.  They ended up stuck
on a two-lane road on one side of a hill and partly across both lanes.
The oncoming traffic could not see them until they topped the hill.
It was quite a dangerous situation. 

In God's providence a deputy showed up soon and was able to put
her car at the top of the hill with lights on to warn the oncoming
18 wheelers and cars.

Then with careful maneuvering the guys were able to turn the truck
and trailer around and head back home.

We then made an appointment with a butcher that is closer to home. 
That appointment was today.  Finally the two cows are gone.  Kent
will have a lot less work now.  Feeding out cows is exhausting!

But, we'll forget all the hard work when the hamburgers and steaks
are sizzling on the grill!  And we'll do it all again.
