It’s surprising how the techniques for controlling worried cattle work just as well with humans who are nudged into fear.
As I listen to pandemic program managers spouting COVID-19 bromides and watch their efforts to rush people into getting vaccinated, I’m transported back to the little mixed farm in Alberta, Canada, where I grew up. I saw the COVID-19 playbook in action over sixty years ago in barns and fields, but particularly the corrals, out behind the barn.

Each fall we brought the cows — thirty-five or so — and their calves from the summer pasture, to the “home place: where they would be fed and wintered. The calves had to be weaned from their mothers, which meant separating them. It was tricky. For one thing, the animals — we called them “range cows” — grew a bit wild over summer and didn’t take kindly to being handled in close quarters. As for the calves, they were even wilder

The herd churned as our pincer movement tightened. We allowed cows and even some calves to squirt out if necessary, as long as the main group could be contained. Better to let a few “squirters” get away than to lose the group.
Tension increased as the animals found themselves in ever-shrinking space. We gaged herd stress by watching the old cows. They were a breath away from stampeding when standing as still as statues, heads down, with noses skimming the ground. When that happened Dad might murmur, “Give them time,” or “Give them room, boys, give them room.” We’d pause until the animals relaxed and lifted their heads even partway.
After more slow steps, when the farthest animals were in or near the open gate, we rushed forward and spooked the group into the corral.

I intend to be one of those cows that “squirted” past the ranchers, but even then, the ranchers eventually come around to corral you anyway.
As much as my American spirit precludes obeisance, I’m a singular entity against a global cabal with tyranny on their mind. At some point they’ll rope me. I only pray that my years will be advanced enough to see me ushered to the dinner table and not the barn.
