[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 911763, member: 9096"] My parents bought the farm when I was 12, got cows when I was 13, 12 long yearling heifers and 4 weaners. I had a couple picked out that I liked, and got to taming them, "Josie" in particular. I learned that cows are a heck of a lot smarter than most people give them credit for. Josie, when she was about 2 years old, was tied to a tree to graze around it, and my mother went by.. something excited her and she blasted off, my mother getting tripped up by the rope. She yelled "STOP", and Josie did. I've got a couple good cows from Josie, she's been gone for a few years now, her daughter is 16, and doing fairly well, though doing things a bit slowly. I wish I had had the opportunity to show animals, I think I would have really enjoyed it, and would have gotten to know more like-minded people (there are few around here). Here's a pic of me bringing "Spotty" (Josie's granddaughter) to a new home as a pet in near-suburbia [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v153/Rx7man/Moo/Moolillooetoct272008031.jpg[/img] [/QUOTE]
