Our bull finally has a home! I just happened to be available to go with Boss Lady to meet the Cattle Men that are taking Ponson to his new home.
Through the Animal Services grapevine, Boss Lady was able to track down some Cattle Men that were willing to drive down from another county and load Ponson up and take him away to join their herd.
Boss Lady and I met up with the Cattle Men this evening at the rodeo grounds and got to see the action take place. The Cattle Men backed up their trailer, got the runs between the pens blocked off so that Ponsen had nowhere to go except into the trailer, and with minimal problems got him loaded up!
The whole process took less than ten minutes…it's amazing how quickly it works when you actually deal with cattle for a living. Cattle Men used a little batch of hay to lure Ponson towards the trailer. Ponson started to go for it, then decided he didn't like the idea of climbing up into another trailer so quickly. So he trotted around the run for a couple of minutes…checking out the horses and just bucking around. Then the Cattle Men got out a couple of long sticks to help prod him in the right direction…then with some shouts of "Hup!! Hup!!" Ponson was up in the trailer and shooed to the front. He was locked into place and given some hay, and then he was off to a better place.
Hooray for Ponson!!

Loaded up, secured and ready to go!
Happy trails to you!!
