[QUOTE="Cattle Rack Rancher, post: 49237, member: 245"] Have you ever noticed now and then, That you get a cow that will not pen. Twas two years ago in late November, Or possibly early in December. We were up in the hills doing our best, To bring the cows back from the west. I was admiring the scene, At the edge of a big ravine. It was a slope that would just beg, For a horse to break its leg. Up 'til then the herd was tight, When I saw a cow break to the right. And then four more did follow, That stupid cow into the hollow. So then I jumped off of my horse, And started running, downhill of course. Now, I'd heard that cows can't run downhill, But it was me that tripped and took a spill. The ravine was full of bushes and bogs, And I kept falling in water and tripping on logs. I found them in the bottom of that big ravine. But, geez, they were looking awful keen. And as I tried to circle 'round, They were off and gone in a single bound. When I got to the top, my legs they felt like stone, And the riders and my faithful horse had left me all alone. Then, I thought 'This is a walk that will never end.' But, happily, they were waiting for me, right around the bend. We got those cows back in the yard, right the very next day, And then I phoned the auction yard and sent them on their way. Copyright 2004 [/QUOTE]
