    So animals hate flags? Have you tried different flags maybe their socialist or maybe they hate freedom.

    If you are suspicious that someone cut your water line to the one stock tank, maybe try putting out a hidden trail camera. Many of my friends have them, for some of the same reasons. Even a couple of them pointed toward the road might give you an idea as to who is slowing down in front of the house. Just a thought.

    LOVE your videos!! You guys have such a great sense of humor - and love the father/son dynamic. SO much care between the two of you.
    I also love that your getting a university education - and are not "too good" to farm. Farming in the future need people exactly like you (and your dad!!). I LOVE your Dad!!! And...you are exactly the kind of young man we hope our daughters meet and marry!
    Hugs to you and your whole family!

    Cole, that is a scary thing to wake up to with people creeping around your home. Invest in a few cameras that feed to a tablet or cellphone. We had to after people were stealing all around our neighborhood. You could get a few wifi cameras to watch your cows too- so no one gets brave to steal one... This current virus has people doing stupid stuff for sure. Be careful and stay safe.
