During the rainy season, in Oklahoma. We had a large Brama Bull. He always thought the grass was always greener on the other side. Being the big boy that he was, he was constantly busting through the fence. It so happened on this particular day ,James, the bull named after one of our cantankerous rancher friends, decided to bust the fence during the coldest rainiest day of that Month. Well here I go -hat on my head, running pulling on my coat as I went, grabing gloves,wire, posts and pliers. I had to get to the fence fast because we had two ponies and several calves on the ground. They would follow James at the drop of a hat. I made it, fixed the fence, got back to the house. I was heart broken when I looked down at my feet. I had been in such a hurry, I had forgotten I was wearing my good boots. My Boots were full of mudd, each in fact had three pounds of mudd- inside and out. I loved my denim blue tall top boots. They were my favorite, I lost them to two miles of fence and six pounds of mudd. I never have been able to find another pair like them to this day.
Great Story!!
