- Helping to contain a line of cattle walking through a makeshift chute on their way be treated by a veterinarian at a barn on Logan Spoonamore's farm on Lancaster Road, Graham Kain forces the gates together when some of the cattle spooked and turned around pushing the gates apart.
Cows were bellowing and snorting Tuesday afternoon as they were corralled on Logan Spoonamore’s farm on Lancaster Road. Spoonamore, with the help of several men, had about 65 head of Angus cattle from his herd rounded and herded to the barn so that a veterinarian could give them routine vaccinations and treat for lice.
