WEll I didn't have any thing great happen today , but apparently when Kim went out to run the critters out of the lot Levi decided he would do a little cutting. Can you imagine an ox chasing and penning a horse., thats my Levi.  I would venture to say that at some point today the horses aggravated him and he was just getting even, or maybe he has been watching Fudge my stock dog too long. Who knows but its always something when you live with animals. Did you know that in 1824 the first wagons were used to haul freight to Mexico which put an end to the sole use of pack mules for that job, and get this the wagons were built in Independence, and St Louis Missouri. This was what started the "trails" to Sante Fe. which came in handy when the war between the U.S. and Mexico started around 1846.  and guess who pulled the wagons...OXEN. Makes me want to figure out exactly where the wagon factory was in Independence, more research :o).
