Another Bull Gets Out

     
     Last night about the time the cattle sale was getting over, the yard guys were in the cafe finally getting something to eat, after a very long day, Over the loud speaker, David says,"There is a bull in the parking lot!  There is a bull in the parking Lot!".

     It was reported that it was like a bunch of quail scattering.  All the young guys that work at  RLA took off, leaving their food on the table.  
    
    Michael Hillman, Josh Hagelstein, and Sterling Pierce jumped on their horses and took off after this bull.  As Will was leaving the cafe Chuck tells Will he can use his horse....  

    The bull was being loaded onto a truck and a couple of the bulls got wedged together in the gate and this big red bull jumped on their back and rolled off the side of the loading chute. He was in the North side of the yards and all the young guys were after him.  With ropes in their hands they took off after him. He got in the corner of the property and crashed through the chain link fence that needed to be repaired anyway.  He took off to the residential area of Roswell.  The guys had to go around the barn and found him in the field next to the sale barn headed toward the home near by.  

    Not sure what happened and in what order, but Will and Kenneth got in Will's truck and hooked onto a trailer and went looking for them.  Michael Hillman had a rope on the Bull's leg.  Josh Hagelstein had roped him around the neck and lost his rope, and Sterling had a rope on him somewhere, not sure where.  Some how they roped this bull in someone front yard or back yard with a lady in her car and some how got the Bull tied to a tree. It was reported that Michael rode up to someone's front door on horseback and ask this lady to move her car while he had hold of this bull?  Not sure about all that.  Someone else said that they broke off a mirror on someone else's car.  Not sure about that either.   There was something said about a swing set and a trampoline?  

   Will called Chuck to bring a gun just in case, and when Smiley and Chuck got to Will and the other guys, everything was pretty well handled.  Will tied the bull to the trailer and they loaded him in the trailer and brought him back to the barn.  

     Thankfully, everyone made it back to the barn safe and sound.  Michael's horse got hurt, not sure how bad, they think he ran over some one's sprinkler.    

    I don't know to much about what happened just bits and pieces.  What I do know is, all the older guys stayed behind and the "Young Guns"  were the ones that went out and took care of the bull.  It use to be that Benny, Smiley, Chuck, Mike, Stan, Billy, David, and Coby would have been the first ones out the door to gather up the bull or livestock, now it's a new generation that can't wait for the next adventure.  When did it change??? 

     We sure have a lot of memories about the "Bull" that got out.  Everyone of the employees at RLA have had some kind of experience with a loose animal.  I thank God every day that He is looking out for us..... For as of this day, no one has been hurt really bad during one of these loose animal calls.
