    So...my shed alarm goes off at 4:00 am this morning........

    congrats. we helped out a neighbor last year when his steers got out, but they were also in my dads corn. He had his fencer on so high you couldnt go near it or it would arc and they still got out. He ended up keeping them in the barn the last few weeks.
