RE: The Horned One

in #life3 years ago

Phew, glad you survived that potentially deadly encounter :O

I hope you can actually tell a bull from a cow outside of slightly embellished stories for comedic purposes ;D

also I'm pretty sure most if not all of the cows I've encountered have horns O_O;

Bulls are pretty scary though, I remember we had to take some old tyres to a farm once because the farmer wanted them to block up a creek (I don't know why x_x) and we had to traverse paddocks with cows and a bull in them. Most of the days we were making the deliveries the cows were just somewhere in the paddock (we could usually see them), but one day they decided that the track was where they were going to hang out. We approached them and they looked over at us but didn't budge, and seeing as the bull could actually bulldoze our ute J decided to give them a wide berth so we very carefully (because it was a slope and the ute was top heavy with the tyre cage in the tray) skirted around the herd with us and the bull side-eyeing each other. We survived the ordeal XD

Sort:  

Hehe, you know sadly I am probably incapable of telling the difference between the two unless I see a big set of pendulous udders.

I think they were cows, one of them seemed a little flirty (understandably) - perhaps it was a big case of the jealousys... Lol!!

I hate driving when the car is top heavy!! I drove a car with one of those submarine luggage things attached to the top once with loads in it and the car felt like a strange and unwieldy beast.

I am glad you survived, that time... :0D

LoL!

I think I'd be too scared to drive with a roof rack, I have refused to drive with a trailer previously too x_x

That was fortunately the only time for us, the rest of the time the herd was elsewhere in the paddock (we could usually see them), and the job only took a few days in total. The other entertaining incident we had was trying to herd a stupid lamb back into the paddock, it had gotten out through a gap in the fence and was desperately trying to get back to its mother and was apparently too dumb to go back in the same way. I tried to just grab it but it wasn't having a bar of that, so we opened the gate and then chased it through before opening the gate the rest of the way so we could drive the ute in. That was much more entertaining and less terrifying than the bull XD

A trailer!! Yeek, that is definitely a no-no for me too. The idea of something just swinging about behind me gives me the herbs.

I think I could cope with some lamb chasing. That is about as much as I could do!! :0D
