[QUOTE="Keren, post: 371904, member: 3195"] Wow, I've got so many memories and stories its hard to know where to start. A bad memory at the time but a funny one now that I look back on it was when I was showing an angus heifer and a few steers. We arrived at a local show and there was a ramp and yards, and a mound to unload at. The fella there wouldn't let us unload into the yards because of the Johnes status, even though we told him the heifer was likely to run. Anyway we found the biggest bloke we could to hang onto this black heifer, and lined up the steers at the bottom of the mound. The heifer and the bloke went under all the steers. He hung on for 10 metres then let go . . . she ran around the racecourse twice, jumped three fences and ended up out of the showground. We jumped in the nearest ute and by the time we caught up with her she had jumped into some blokes farm. We drove up there with the truck and asked the people if we could load her, but he said they only had sheep yards. But by that time she'd jumped into the neighbours paddocks and they had cattle yards. By the time we loaded her and brought her back three hours had passed. It was absolutely priceless when we came back and the steward just said "You'd better unload into the yards". :shock: A pretty challenging moment was this year at Sydney, when we took a group of angus bulls out in the grand parade to exercise them.
