The picturesque but unimaginatively named Top Creek splits our farm. We cross it using a bridge but it is all too much for the cattle so they simply crash through the water.

That is all well and good for the adults but it is daunting for their babies so we do our best to 'encourage' them. The best method we have come up with is to repurpose old electronet to sweep the bank clean, trawling for calves.

It is not electrified of course (we have to hold the thing) but it gets the job done, mostly. Calf with cow.
