    Cow Troubles

    I was waiting for someone to come to my defense. As that didn't happen, I'll let you pick your answer: 1) So, it's all right for you to insist I build a fence, but it's not all right for me to suggest an additional fence as a solution to a years long problem. 2) What was your solution again?

    Cow Troubles

    My dad tried to use our dog. She was brave as anything around does. But, the first time she saw a buck, she ran full speed, howling the whole way back to camp. I understand what you're saying about people moving. Believe me, I am careful to NOT duplicate that from which I escaped. I see many...

    Cow Troubles

    I come from the San Joaquin Valley. Home to many farmers. We also have many rodeos in the area. Ken Curtis (Festus from Gunsmoke) is celebrated in many of our towns, as he came from here. One of my coworkers was upset because a horse ran into her stopped car and broke the side view mirror off...

    Cow Troubles

    You and I have read this differently. I was of the understanding that things were being thrown and yelled at fenced in animals who were minding their own business, not escapees. I agree that physical means are often needed to get animals "where they belong". I don't have a problem slapping a...

    Not sure what you're getting at. Amongst other things, my wife wanted to be within 2 hours of a major air port. We were in central California. We have family from San Francisco to Indianapolis to Orlando.

    Not sure how to stop dogs, but throwing things should come with a penalty. People who are cruel to animals are usually cruel to people, as well. Many sociopaths started with animals before hurting / killing people. I think we should treat animal cruelty seriously. Mandatory psychoanalysis at...

    Thank you. I have received many good suggestions to try. When my wife gets back, we'll discuss them. I retired and moved to Arizona after years of research and of driving through the state (and Texas) and staying a few nights in different areas. If I had my way, we'd be living in Show Low. But...

    I hope the cow had the spine severed, or similar, and so was in no pain. Sad story.

    Cow Troubles

    FYI, my wife hit a black cow late at night on a highway in California (65 MPH) during a new moon. No streetlights as it was out in the country. Hers was the only car in either direction. Killed the cow and, luckily, sent it into the center divide. The cow hit on the drivers side of her CRV. Took...

    Any chance you could put a fence near the bad section?

    Cow Troubles

    I agree we should have asked more neighbors before we bought here, but it IS a subdivision with paved roads, fire hydrants, stop signs, gutters and sidewalks. We had no clue cows would come down the road from who knows where.

    Exactly. Thank you.

    Cow Troubles

    School bus drivers must follow rules. One of which is to sit and wait. After half an hour, they can call for assistance to arrive and clear the roadway. Usually, the cows move before assistance arrives.

    We have considered this. We just haven't found anything we like that is safe for animals, but which cows won't eat.

    Cow Troubles

    The buses don't have that bar. I don't "expect everybody else to accommodate YOU". I was just giving some insight for those who don't live in an area like this. I don't understand what I've typed to make some people think I want to make trouble. We just want to make things better in regards to...
