Don't they look guilty?

These four girls had been in the weaning pasture for a few weeks.  One day they figured out how to get the gate unlatched and got into the next pasture.  Fortunately no harm done and they readily followed me back into the right pasture.  I then started explaining to them that they couldn't be doing that and I would have my eye on them.  As you can see, they dutifully lined up and listened to the lecture, but you can tell they weren't really taking me seriously.  Just doing that "Okay, dad" look to get me off their case.  :-)

And that's why I always double wrap the gates that have chains and have slowly been replacing all the gate latches.  The ones I'm switching to are a little pricey but they work great.  You can check them out at www.bestgatelatch.com.  I don't receive a commission - I'm just really happy with their product.  Plus it's made right down the road in Spring Texas!
