The first time I tried to get him back all the other little cows came to watch, so I think he was showing off for them and pretty much ignored me, as I first yelled and then pleaded and then said in nice soft tones to please get back in the fence.
I grabbed a big handful of alfalfa hay that they usually eat but his bored stare said, "Lady I got the longest best looking grass (that is always greener on this side of the fence I suppose) over here, oh look! Is that a lilac bush!" So I gave up for a bit.
I went inside and prayed that the Lord would please tell that little cow to get back in the fence. A little later the other cows got bored and went to the other side of the pasture (and away from the gate.) I tried again and this time I was able to open the gate and shush him through. Phew! THANK YOU LORD!!!
