I decided to move some cattle around today and found this idiot calf with its head stuck in a gate. It was like a rubics cube getting its head out. That just started the day on a good foot.
I then carried a load of cattle to another place and saw a bunch of buzzards sitting on the fence. I thought, Oh great, lost a cow somehow. But as I got closer it became obvious that I wasn't that lucky as I had dead cows laying everywhere. My first thought was some idiot dyed his hair red and opened up on them with an AK but then I saw the lightning strike on the pine tree with the two carcasses laying directly under it and all became clear why I don't gamble.
Just take a look at this wonderful site and tell me whether or not you'd like to color me lucky.
This is what I first saw. I assume the cow that is halfway between the fence must have bolted when it got zapped. Her calf is dead by her side.
The calf on the left didn't have a rear hoof. I found it about 15 foot from the carcass.
Another pair and no this pair wasn't from the bottom of the herd. In fact, I'm pretty sure they were worth about $15,000 each if someone would have paid me that for them. ;-)
All total I lost 5. Aren't I lucky to live just a few miles from Florida. The lightning capital of the world.
I had hoped that someone would eat these cattle. Never figured it would be me or in this manner. Oh well. It could have been worse. Just one of those things.
