Note to self.  Don't make a compost pile right next to the cattle paddock.  Especially if old moldy bales are on the pile.  Today the sun melted the snow off of the top of a bale on the compost pile which is right next to the cattle paddock.  The bull decided he wanted to reach that bale so he pushed on the cattle panel until it broke the welds on the panel.  Then he was half in the paddock and half out so he could enjoy the moldy hay.  Sara ran in to say the bull was out!  The got everyone moving.  It wasn't as bad as I thought, but we did have to dig down through the snow and drop another panel in place.  And just for good measure I torched the bale to discourage any of the cattle from wanting to try that bale again.
