[QUOTE="cow pollinater, post: 1186163, member: 14661"] It was funny... That being said, they could just be feeling good OR it could be that they smelled something they didn't/did like. About once a month for no real reason that I can sense I'll see entire pens of dairy cows with between 100-400 cattle per pen flip out and stampede for no aparent reason. Sometimes you'll see literally thousands of cattle stop what they're doing and stare in the same direction... I'm always there before dawn so I assume that one to be a coyote in the distance. The one that makes me shiver is when, about once every six months, I'll be in the middle of my first pen of four hundred with about three thousand more locked up waiting for me and more coming out of the barn and you hear the constant chatter of stanchions and happy cows eating and then all of a sudden it goes DEAD SILENT... Everything stops for about thirty seconds, and one of two things will happen. Either, all of the cows will flip their tail switch in unison and then come back to life OR they will get upset starting on one end of the dairy and it goes in a wave as if someone was walking in front of them but it's in well lit pens that face each other and they're in the middle of the dairy so there's no way not to see something that would stir them up.
