[QUOTE="dun, post: 290331, member: 34"] Interesting you should mention emus. A number of years ago, people around here were just hauling them to a vacant piece of land and turning them lose. I weant to one of our pac pastures, about 60 acres broke into 3 areas by hot wire. All of the hot wire was broken and 5 strand barb was busted through in a couple of spots. The cows were all wildeyed and lathered up. I couldn;t figure out what was going on until an emu trotted over the ridge, just barely within view of the cows. They all took off in terror again. I shot the emu and drug it off, the cows settled right down and I fixed fence, lots of fence. Some friends of ours about 60 miles away had the same problem and reaction with there cows only there it was 150 head running on 400 plus acres. Apparantly there is something about the way an emu moves that just spooks the snot out of cows. We've had a stray donk and llama get in with the cows and never had the same reaction. dun [/QUOTE]
