Over the course of the last few months we have seen antelope, deer, wild turkey, hawks, pheasants, a raccoon, and lot of field mice.

We hit a pheasant with the grill of our service rig and it popped like a pillow, a feather explosion on the highway.  Sometimes the deer stay in the field where we are working.

One day I found a nest of baby mice in a sprinkler we were working on. Interesting.

New cows and rabbits

While stepping down yet another electric fence today a jack rabbit ran right behind me. From a distance when running they can look like a medium sized dog.

There was a Texas longhorn in the field today. The first I have seen out here.

Tis the season for calving.  Yesterday and today I have seen many calves so new they are still wet and with very little hair. The farmer was out in the field today ear tagging them.
