[QUOTE="dun, post: 36872, member: 34"] A couple of years ago I bought a really lovely calm limousin heifer. By the time we got her home she had nearly destroyed the trailer. Turned her into a 50' square pen 8' high. She climbed the side and disappeared into 20 acres of pasture with an occasional patch of weeds. Didn't see her for almost a month even though we searched a grid to see if we could find her. Figured she'ld gone over the back fence and off into the wilds somewhere. One day I was driving through the pasture on the tractor and a movement caught my eye. I glanced over and it was the heifer laying in the weeds. She lowered her head very slowly like adeer would. I kept going and when I came back 5 minutes later she was gone. Didn';t see her for a couple of weeks, then one day she was in with the rest of herd. They'ld been in the same pasture as her all along, but she never sought them out. If she saw anyone she was gone like a rocket back into the rough stuff. Six months after we had gotten her she was calm(?) enough that we could get within 50 yds of her without her running. It took six darts to slow her down enough that we could get her in the trailer. Anieghbor that raises limos though it was hilarious. He says he has cows that he never sees till they run them all in and wean calves. dun [/QUOTE]
