    Stupid cows.

    This weekend I landed a clean out job that netted me around 500 lbs of shred, $300, and a camper. Piece of cake. Wish every weekend was like that.


    Then I get home...... Stupid cow is out.....again(happens at least 4 times a day).
    That's it! We are tying him up for good. My partner, wife, sister-in-law, and I all go at this for 4HOURS trying to get I'm cornered. This cow is a direct descendant of the cow that jumped over the moon....I've never seen a cow get air like this guy does! He jumps the fences into the other pastures every time..... finally corner him in the quonset to pin him up against the wall and put the halter on him.....ideally. He ends up running over me over and hurts my arm real bad( thought it was dislocated) but I got that halter by george! Then we pin him with a truck and I grab the halter and he JUMPS OVER THE TRUCK!, runs me over again and drags me halfway across the pasture....this time I am done, I re-injured my leg so bad I couldn't walk, blood was coming out of my skin graft, and I don't have any pain pills. My ankle has hurt since then and it's hard to walk as it gives out now. This is one cow I would gladly put the bolt in when we take it to butcher. My wife always said she thought I'd be sexy as a cowboy.....just didn't know it would be so painful to fulfill a woman's fantasy LOL! Oh well, one bad cow outta seven isn't to bad I guess.





    Lesson learned this weekend: Cows are strong........ get more men.
    Determine never to be idle. No person will have occasion to complain of the want of time who never loses any. It is wonderful how much may be done if we are always doing.

    Sounds like time for T-bone steak for supper.

    I grew up on a farm in Iowa and we had a cow that would jump the fence every time we put her in the pasture. We'd chase her back and she'd jump the fence. But we solved the problem when she jumped into the cornfield AFTER we'd picked the corn. We let her into the corn field -- She jumped the fence INTO the pasture. Talk about a stupid cow.
    People may laugh at me, but that's ok. I laugh all the way to the bank.

    Sounds like some fresh hamburger might be on order. When you cooking? we will all be over for burgers.

    Is this a cow (female) or a bull (male)? You kept refering to it as he and him.

    That was the problem. Not much meat on her. She was a milk cow and not much of that. Wasn't worth hauling to market. Not even worth what she ate every day. Sure not worth a 30-06 shell.

    i came home to watch the farm once while mom and dad were gone for a week. A cow got out one day and was across the road in a neighbors soybean patch. I busted my but all day long trying to get that cow out of the soybeans and back across the road into dad's pasture before too many saw it over there. When they got back I mentioned this ordeal to dad and he said, " that cow doesn't belong to me, i've been trying to get that cow out of my herd for 6 months"

    Lesson learned this weekend: Cows are strong........ get more men.
    Put a ring in the beasts nose, then leading with a rope you'll have total obediance. Or you could try a pail of oats.

    Cows are a good source of scrap metal, nails, staples, wire and giant hair balls. Ask any abattoir he'll have a good slection of used magnets. The magnets keep the scrap metal from tearing up or lodging in the cows intestines.
