In the country there are horses and cows. To keep them from roaming all over the country owners put up fences, mostly barbed wire.

Still, sometimes the livestock find their way out. We’ve awakened to a very large mama cow next to our front porch. Or had to slow our car down to wait on a couple of horses to get out of the way.

The fences aren’t perfect. A post will break, the wire will rust, a gate will be left open. And sometimes a curious bull wants to taste the grass on the other side and will find his way through.

But mostly the fences do the job.
