Cattle got out

a real moooo-ving experience !

udder-ly rediculous, he should have been asleep....

sorry, but I had to put some humour into this.

happily bull and farmer are back safe and sound though !!!

Neighbors on all sides at both places, their cows are in my yard and in the road almost weekly.

There is a big crease in my truck door where the neighbors cows ran by and caught the mirror and the mirror bent the door --- in my back parking lot.

They all seem to think cows being out is just a part of life.

It was a common sight when I was a kid; nearly every cow was wearing a big A-frame yoke on her head and the bulls all had chains hanging from the rings in their noses with the head of an old double-bit axe swinging between their front legs from that chain; if they ran, the axe head would beat them in the shins and wrap the chain around their leg.

I remember when my father bought an old creek farm and put up a 3-strand fence; people talked about it as if he had built Fort Knox; any more than 2-strands was unheard of.

Now, six strands and seven strands is more the norm.

A rogueish cow, they would put sharp spikes on the cow side of the yoke such that any pushing against the yoke resulted in her getting poked by the spikes; quit pushing and quit getting poked.

Yeah, it's usually the bull/steer calves that are the problem.  If they have horns they raise hell with fences.  Don't ask me why, but they do.

Cows usually only cause problems when they are hungry and 'the grass is always greener' on the other side of the fence.

Ya GOTTA keep em tight!
