[QUOTE="danl, post: 534908, member: 229"] My cows don't see them often enough, they only come through my place a couple times a year. I like seeing them clean up the bugs. However my cows had a different opinion last Sunday, I drove back in the pasture and all the cows were wadded up circling the calves, bellering their heads off . I didn't know what was wrong, then I noticed about 50 cattle egrets around them. Every now and then one of the young cows would break out of the bunch bawling her head off and run at the birds, slinging her head and acting crazy. I wish they were that agressive toward stray dogs... I've never seen them even notice those birds before. They don't pay attention to the little brown cowbirds that follow them around at all. When the cows saw me, they came running like I was supposed to do something. They were stirred up bawling and crapping all afternoon. I was glad when the birds finally left. [/QUOTE]
