What makes for a good cow gun'

[YogiBear]

Aloha,

I have learned a lot about cows from this thread.

The Life experiences of the members of this forum are truly amazing

to this "city boy".

When we visit the Wife's family in Texas, I know what Not to do.

Makes me glad I own a bunch of M57s & 58s.

Cows are like people, most of them are decent and just want to live their lives without interruption or harassment. Most deal with the disruption of their lives like branding vaccinations, castration etc. with a lot of bellerin' and squirmin', but they remember just like we do.

Sooner or later they reach a point where humans are messin' with their kids, or they been down that chute just one too many times and they can get a might testy.

That's when you better be able to run and climb a corral fence right quick or you may find out just how well they do remember.

I wonder, has ever the story been told, in classic Western form, of a cow riding the vengeance trail? That would be a bad time to be caught unawares over a plate of veal cutlets...

Don't know as the story has been told, but there's sure been a bunch of ol hands boogered up pretty bad by an old Mommer cow, when the hand was checkin' on her brand new baby calf.

The motherin' instinct is pretty durned strong right after that baby (where them veal cutlets come from) is born.
She don't see no difference in a man or a coyote, and she'll tromp either one of them into a grease spot.

A feller approaches that baby critter right polite like and don't tarry too long.
