Here we are in the final stretch of the year until summer break. My spring break was filled with lots of fun adventures and long workdays. I worked on the farm all week hauling grain with my dad to the ethanol plant in Lima. After these long workdays I was able to spend time with my buddies and my girlfriend. As most of you know I usually have something crazy happen to me each week and let me tell you spring break did not disappoint. It was Saturday morning, and I was at my mom’s house getting ready for a day of work I hear my mom yell, “There is a cow lose in the yard.” This struck me in a way where I was very unsure of what she said because my mom lives in the city. I then walked upstairs and saw the show steer that had gotten away from somebody at the Auglaize County Fairgrounds. I went out to help catch the steer and at first one of the police officers had caught the steer, but the steer had other ideas. The steer dragged the officer across the field until he quickly let go. At that point my brother and I started after the steer. He ran through our neighborhood, the woods, three creeks and about four fences until I was able to get close enough to grab his halter in the middle of a corn field. We were not completely out of the woods yet, I had to walk the steer through the corn field all the way back to the road so the owners could put him back on the trailer. How was your spring break?
My life has been kind of crazy these past couple months. It all started when I began the thought of transferring schools. I wanted to transfer schools for a chance to see the football field and pursue my degree of business in marketing. I started talking to coaches trying to get into the transfer portal to be able to transfer and that was a task in itself. I had to talk to and get tons of papers signed by lots and lots of different people. After I was in the transfer portal I had to reach out to coaches and let them know that my recruitment was back open. I had talked to lots of different coaches over the month of December when I realized I wanted to attend Ohio Northern University. I started to get accepted and got an idea of what my schedule would look like but then we had a holiday break. During this break I was not able to get anything done to be able to transfer schools and the time was winding down fast. In the last week before students were allowed back on campus I was fina...
That is something I cannot even imagine happening, it's crazy that you were able to get the cow back to where he was supposed to be. Also, what is living and working on a farm like? Do you enjoy it? Anyway, my spring break was similar but different, I also worked for most of break, but I stayed on campus and worked at a local restaurant near campus
ReplyDeleteThat is crazy, I am having a hard time picturing something so chaotic. I'm glad that you were able to get him back to safety. I once had seen a cow wondering around a burger king in my town. That was such a crazy sight, it walked right through a busy intersection. Anyway, I had a great spring break! Not as interesting as yours, but it was fun.
