Nope.

Grew up around ‘em.

Whether intentionally done or not, they caused more injuries than any of the other livestock, even pigs.

I have read enough on this board to know that you know your stuff.

But our experiences evidently are very different. I, also, was raised around cattle...pigs...goats...chickens...guineas...horses...you name it.

In fact, until four years ago (or so) I raised cattle. The drought pretty well put an end to that. Too expensive to have any kind of profit. If we have another year like this one...I might get back into it. Although, I’m getting older and I’m not sure I want that much work. This hiatus has spoiled me.

The only problem I ever had with the cattle was them getting tangled in the fence...or worse breaking thru it. I’ve had a lot more injuries from horses. :)

Now bulls...that is a different subject.

BTW, your taglines always crack me up!!

I never knew that.

Worked on dairy farms from the age of 14 through 18 and only ever came across docile cows. Never had a problem with them.
