Got home in the afternoon and all the animals seemed fine. But this evening all the youngsters got out - ten of them. My dad, Ruth and I ended up walking all over (and driving all over) trying to get them back in, but didn't manage it. By the time it was full dark they had headed past the ranch and we just let them go. I am too sore to keep going at this tonight. Tomorrow I am going to have to fix one of my pastures so that it holds the herd. I had hoped to limp by on weak fences until June when I have fencing help, but I can't do that. I am going to have to figure out how to fix these fences with my back as it is. And how to get 10 horses home without being able to ride. That will be tomorrow's work, I suppose.
