Long horns might be beautiful, but in the last 3.5 years, I've had no
"horn-related" incedents up till now. From chatting with you all, I
knew the day would come....

I hear the usual metallic fence-banging and am perturbed that I need
to go into the pasture, up to the barn, and chase them away from the
fence door to give the neighbors a break.  What I found was Marley
showing me yet another place I need to fortify to keep him from doing
stupid crap like this.

Poor guy. I got him loose very quickly. By the way he was so out of it
and exhausted, he could have been like that for quite some time (look
at the wear marks on the wood). As the caption says, Ziggy, his
Lieutenant, did a great job of defending him from the ambitious
yearling rams who wanted a cheap shot at the CO while he was feeling
bad.

Yes, I know-- the whole thing could have been much worse. Marley was
happily eating again within the hour.
