always be scared of cows
really
Those ascii cows are fabulous!
I love cows (hence my Forum name), but they're really stupid! A few years ago I was standing at the edge of a field watching cows graze (as you do). To be helpful, I ripped up a handful of grass and held it out to a cow. The cow stopped munching, ignored the grass I was holding out, gave me a dirty look, and returned to the matter at hand!
One of the most 'interesting' bits of the walk I did over the weekend involved walking two sides of a relatively small field with cows, calves and a horse in it. Not just me but about 500 hundred people were going to be passing through. The cows, of course, were in the corner of the two sides we were using. A man, who may or may not have been the owner of said cows, was standing on another side of the field when I was there, loudly saying things in what sounded like a rather indignant way, making more fuss than anyone else. All the walkers were very careful, stuck to the path, no sudden movements or anything. The cows did not seem stressed and just stayed put with us walking through. I think you just have to behave sensibly.
The horse in the field was near the exit point and I was more worried by that than the cows.
The cow thread can not die!

"A city man was tooling down a country road when his car sputtered to a complete stop near a field filled with cows. The driver, getting out to see what was the matter, noticed one of the cows looking at him. "I believe it's your radiator," said the cow. The man nearly jumped right out of his city slicker britches! He ran to the nearest farmhouse and knocked on the door. "A cow just gave me advice about my car!" he shouted, waving his arms franticly back toward the field. The farmer nonchalantly leaned out beyond the door frame to glance down the field. "The cow with two big black spots on it?" the farmer asked slowly. "Yes! Yes! That's the one!" the excited man replied. "Oh. Well, that's Ethel," the farmer said, turning back to the man. "Don't pay any attention to her. She doesn't know a thing about cars."
LOL!! I really love that joke. I like to think that cows could learn stuff about cars if they wanted to.
I like cows. We did a walk the other day and the public footpath led us through a familiar hilly field full of heifers. There was 3 groups of them and a group of 8 about half way up the hill (where we were).
They edged nearer to us, and as we headed down the hill they suddenly decided to join the group at the bottom. Stampede! It was like they were having a race to see which beast could get down the hill first.
Magnificant as they were I was slightly relieved we weren't at the bottom of that field...

LOL BB. You must have some spare time on your hands!
Unluckily my boss just walked behind me and saw me looking at the Ironcow pic above, and shook his head saying "I'm not even going to ask...."
As I have put in previous post I work in the MP's expenses department at the House Of Commons.
After firstly losing the "decline" stamp a few years back it has become very quiet over the past few weeks not many claims being put in for some reason....
How to combined the Ipod wearers debate and cow thread!
