Only a couple of auction barns in the region and everybody knows everybody. i like the game cam idea!threecolliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05811004278088768813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15171402.post-41075386153164472012012-12-12T05:59:09.202-05:002012-12-12T05:59:09.202-05:00We just had a recent situation up here in McMinn C...We just had a recent situation up here in McMinn County. Thank God for Tattooing. And keeping great records doesn't hurt. A lady had the smarts to check around for upcoming cattle auctions, handed over all her identification records for each cow missing. By the time the guy was called to 'come pick up his check' down at an auction house in Georgia... local law enforcement and the FBI were there to meet him. The rustling is picking up steam. They're doing it in small quantities. They're luring the cows to feeder bunkers.We have a small place. But we've started hanging loose links of chains on our gates and barn doors. And those Hunting cameras for larger areas is worth an investment.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12121820035844661657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15171402.post-92098269933552546432012-12-11T17:42:31.001-05:002012-12-11T17:42:31.001-05:00NW, I don't usually worry too much about him, ...NW, I don't usually worry too much about him, but the cow had me real nervous<br /><br />Nita, sorry about that. EVerybody is so busy these days<br /><br />Joated, thanks I don't usually worry about him too much. he can take care of himself pretty much, but this time I did<br /><br />WW, I am thinking about getting him a free refurbished Straittalk phone and making him pay the plan. lol<br /><br />Rev. Paul, I know, I know, I wouldn't do too well up there.<br /><br />Linda, we have been talking about getting him one and it really is time I think<br /><br />Cathy, I was very worried and in what-to-do-next mode. A mad mama cow is nothing to fool around with and he is too old to be running around in the dark like that.<br /><br />Linda, I am going to have to break down and actually get him one I guess. He tends to lose and forget stuff but he needs one.threecolliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05811004278088768813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15171402.post-43816082836940996042012-12-11T17:27:52.594-05:002012-12-11T17:27:52.594-05:00I kept wondering why he didn't pull out his ce...I kept wondering why he didn't pull out his cell phone and call you.<br /><br />Oh, I get it.
