Wanted! (the trouble with a Jersey)




For the second time in a year the Glenview Police came to the farm to let us know that they had gotten a call that one of our cows was out. This time the cow was reportedly running through the Cook County Forrest Preserve just east of Wagner Road. The caller was frantic that the cow be captured before something bad happened so Jeff, Beth and I took off in great haste. Beth was the first to report that all our cows were present and accounted for. Then Jeff called to say that he had glimpsed what he thought was the reason for the call, a deer was running along the pathway in the Preserve. I'm glad they don't allow deer hunting in Glenview or BC would sure be in trouble !
