Hello; A year or two ago the door bell rang. It was two county police officers. One of my neighbors had gotten into my yard, a large black angus cow. There are around twenty of them living next door. I guess she wanted some of my grass.
No real problem as I just mow the stuff down anyway but one of the two main highways in the county is at my front yard. The police were concerned she would get on the road. We got her into the back yard and I called the owner.
He shows up with a simple plan for the four of us to heard her back into his fenced in lot. I ask if we need someone on the road to keep her off the highway. He says no she will not go there. You know what happens next of course, she runs out onto the road. Lucky not much traffic and no one hit her. I have seen the damage that a deer and a horse can do to a car and this cow was bigger than them. We eventually got her back into the lot.
I think she may have been the one I called "beef stew" . I name them things like sirloin, burger, short ribs, T-bone and such. She may already be beef stew and in the cans of the stuff in my cupboard. To tell the truth they all pretty much look alike and I cannot tell one from the other, except for the big bull. Does that make me a "cow racists"?
