We are staying up at my Moms house at night. I got out just a the sun was coming up to feed our dogs. I saw that one of our grocers was laying in tall grass about 200 yards out. I can't drive out there because of the rain. Started walking over and could tell she was trying to cable and was having some trouble.
I called my neighbor and asked him for help. He and one of his hands came over on 4-wheelers. Took him less than 15 minutes to get here. Bottom line we decided to give her some help. Went to my shop to get the puller and about 20 minutes later we had a beautiful white bull calf out.
He is truly a good man.

Neighbors who will help you pull a calf are especially great!

Grouchy, I assume autocorrect has once again changed a few words in your story. I think I finally got the gist of your story. At first, I was very concerned about why your grocer would be laying in tall grass...

Lol, yes grocer was supposed to be heifer and Scoble was supposed to be calve. I need to slow down and preview/edit my posts.

It doesn't even make sense what the autocorrect is changing your words to. But it was a funny mental picture nevertheless.

Why does anyone use auto-correct? It causes far more problems than an occasional misspelled word does.

If someone could tell me how to disable it I would.

I have done sheep, cattle and a lot of dogs. I know I could handle helping a woman, but hope it is never required.

I don't know how to do it on a Kindle. I never use mine for anything but reading.
