I was reading the N.Y Post yesterday and saw an article about a cow attack. It said a highly aggressive bovine wreaked havoc in the German state of Bavaria after escaping from a farm.
The runaway cow attacked its owner, smashed a greenhouse and damaged a patrol car. She also caused a lengthy police chase until she was finally shot with a tranquilizer dart and brought home.
Since I literally live in cow town I took a ride this morning to see some cows and learn their ways. They seem friendly enough and usually come up to see what I want and probably wonder why I’m taking their picture.
But if you look at them carefully you can almost sense a darker side to these placid creatures. This one slowly walked up to me and gave me a look, a look that said in New York speak: “What the F*** are you lookin at?”
Maybe number 26 always looks like this, and maybe her two friends were not her muscle but just normal cows trying to kill the day. I wasn’t about to find out though and left for McDonald’s where I ordered two hamburgers and a milkshake.
LOL, they can be unpredictable rascals..you just never know.

I just hope they remember that the fence is electrified, I found out the hard way once . My camera went into the air and I fell over. Its not the strength of the shock but the shock of the shock. 😉

Yes, electrical fences can be brutal.

Most of these are just to scare the animals, a very determined one could easily get used to it and escape (if they had anywhere to go).

Delightful image/read – brings smiles and memories of being 10ish at my grandmother’s farm, after a wander in the pasture, encountering a cow as I tried to exit – HER pasture, apparently, and I the intruder got all sorts of threatening glares as she inched closer, closer. I scrambled over the gate and ran. Back at the house, the only comment from adults was rolled eyes and the question “Well, did she have calves with her?” [Duh. yes.] Perhaps the mad run-away cow in Bavaria was chasing a perceived interference with her calves?

Thanks Jazz. The article didn’t say why but that’s very possible.

There must be some mistake here. I’ve been around cows all of my life … some of my best friends are cows and the idea of them attacking is absurd. It’s Halloween and my guess is the attacker was a pony dressed in a cow costume who didn’t get enough candy. Ponies can be very nasty.

In Bavaria the cows have a completely different attitude and most wish they were ponies. So I’ve heard.

Mad Cow Disease, for sure. My mother has many tales of being chased by bulls, but never the cows.
