Sunday afternoon drive in NE TX/Spring time in TX

So, DH and I like to take a drive along the backroads on a Sunday afternoon. We see the most amazing things (at least to us). This past Sunday we came upon these bulls just right accross from each other. The big Charolais was trying to beat down his fence to get at the Brahma bull (even bigger) accross the road. And just a few yard down the road in a third pasture, the Brangus? was thinking he'd like to get in on the action, too. Of course, all the ladies in each pasture were just going about their business......

And then we came upon this field just opposite out gate. We've never seen into it before due to the fence line being so completely overgrown. But some of the brush has died due to last year's drought and the entire interiour is covered with this rambling rose! I'm about to become a rose wrangler for the first time =8~).

Yowza ... there is no denying that those are BULLS! ;-)

It's amazing to me that something that is normally cultivated makes a break for it and lives on doing its thing without us. Beautiful rose. Good luck on the wrangling. I'd rather wrangle roses than bulls.:0)

Beautiful!!

Cattle and roses, two of my favorite things!
Lovely pictures, Terri.

Nice shots! One, you want to take pics from asafe distance and the other you can't get close enough. Thanks for sharing Terri,

What a wonderful discovery! It might be something else back there you dont know about. :)

Snakes! I'm not wanting to find snakes LOL! Hope to get into the field this weekend, I took a walk around it last night but couldn't locate a gate. So I'll have to climb the delapidated fence or bring a ladder. DH is out of town. Should be back tonight so maybe I can rope him into holding the ladder for me =)!

Fauther, the big white bull was doing his best to rock out the fence post to get through the fence. The big Brahma accross the road was just standing there smirking at him. Could have been dangerous, but really kind of funny.

I don't know about your plan, Terri, it looks easy enough to me. Take a running jump, don't forget to roll when you land on the other side. Grab the first snake you see, use it to whip the bulls into submission.
If you'd like, I'll wait on the other side of the fence and warn you if it's about to rain.

LOL, LOL, LOL!

I presume you have experience with Great Danes! The abutting neighbors had around ten (free range) Great Danes at last count. You can keep them busy =))!

You have lost your mind, Great Danes are scary.

I think your neighbors are raising cattle to feed to their dogs, I can't imagine the amount of food it takes to feed ten Great Danes.

They've lost several as they were just letting them run. They are nice people, they just don't get that you can't let a dog, one that was bred from generations to chase large prey, run.

I think they are down to three or four from at least ten. I can't imagine what their feed bills were like, either!

I'll have to go rose wrangling with a few pork chops to appease the local Danes!

Free range Great Danes?!

Yup!
