Pesky neighbors

We had our first fall of snow last night. It was only a dusting but it certainly transformed the place. I was glad that the snow didn't settle on the driveway as it is steep and winding and my go to truck is 2WD. Going down that with either ice or snow on it would probably find me in the fence, or worse, in the gulley at the bottom of the drive.
Nearly every evening this week we have got home from work and found one or two of the neighbor's cows in our field. It's a little annoying that I can't say for certain where they are coming through. There are a few saggy spots, but some of these beasts are big and don't look like they could jump the fence. It's going to take a day of working around the property, fixing and tightening the wire, because we are hoping to get a couple of bottle calves in the Spring and we need the fence to be 100%. I might wait until this cold snap has passed through first.
