Lol, nice to see you Kenny and got a 'kick' out of your post. You are very 'punny', hehe.

But - I've got a story to tell you about COWS, and it was scary!

When my kids were little we had horses and needed another used saddle. I called a man about one and he said he had one but it was in a 'shed' out in a pasture and I could go and look at it.

So I drove out there, left my kids in the locked car [cool weather!], climbed the fence and walked way out the pasture to the shed. Took a look at the saddle and when I came out of the shed it was surrounded by cattle!!

Turns out the food was kept in the shed and they thought I was there to feed them. So - all these cattle are mooing, snorting and grunting and I didn't know what to do, lol. I needed to get back to my kids but was frankly scared.

Pondered for a bit and finally decided I had to try so I started walking through them and thankfully they didn't smush me and when I got through the last of them I started running for the fence. A few of them even turned and started to follow me.

This is what they looked like without a fence between them and me........

Been there.

It’s very...intimidating.

Our cows see our truck and start running up to us. They know we usually have cubes to throw out for them. Stampede!

I do think it is intimidating, to be surrounded by these beasts.
