Three Cows Get out While Loading Caviness Trucks

      One Caviness Truck loaded with cows pulled away from the truck chute.  Another Caviness Truck Driver was getting the Cows ready to load on to his truck, he forgot to close the gate and to back his truck up.  40 Head of Cows headed up the chute, 2 jumped off the end before Troy Allcorn, who was headed to his pickup, jumped in front of the others and got them stopped.  Troy then jumped in his pickup and started after the 2 escaped Caviness Cows.  Troy got them turned around about 1/2 a city block from the barn and headed them back to the yards.  The Cows got in the parking lot when they turned around and when down a dirt road that is by the barn.  There is a big concrete ditch that follows the bike path and some how those 2 cows fell into that concrete ditch.  All the while Troy is following them in his pickup.  Will is in his pickup by now, Smiley is in his pickup, Mike Pierce is in his, Sterling and Josh are on horse back following them.  Benny has hooked on to a trailer to pick the cows up, when they get them.  Will on foot follows the Cows down this Big concrete ditch that is extra steep and ropes one of the Cows and then ties her down.  Then he gets another rope and rope the other cow and ties her down.  Benny pulls down the bike path and  Smiley's pickup pull these cows up one at a time and load them in the trailer.  When they get almost back to the Sale Barn.  Troy calls Benny and tells him that another cow is out.  A different Caviness Truck that is loading at the back chute, bunches the cattle up to much and a cow jumps on the backs of the other cows and jumps off the side of the loading chute.  David Fox on the bobcat and Rick Hazelton horseback have her in the back of the yards.  Will gets around her and ties a rope around the ball of his pickup and ropes the front foot of this Cow.  She hits the end of the rope and the rope comes untied from the pickup and she jumps the chain link fence.   This cow go towards main street and gets in the same big concrete ditch that the other 2 were in except down town.  Somehow they get her turned around and she climbs out of the ditch by the ice house and Smiley finds her in a bunch of trees.  They make a plan to get her, and some how she ends back at the back of the yards in a pile of old wood and wire and stuff.  Sterling gets her roped and Will gets a rope on her and they load her in the trailer and bring her back to the yards.  All 3 cows are doing good waiting on the next truck to Caviness.  What a night!!  Cattle, Horses, and guys are all safe and sound.
