Haha... Levi's favorite joke.
But seriously, this is one story about a mad cow you are not gonna wanna miss!
From Jason:
Every morning before school I had to feed the cows. While I was feeding, either Dad or Uncle Ross
would milk the cows, if they saw me in the morning they would con me into
gathering the cows from the corral to the holding pen for them.
One such morning, I guess I wasn't sneaky enough, so Ross got
me to go get the cows for him. I hiked
up the hill and brought all the cows down and around, when I got to the straw
pile I did all my whooping and hollering to get the cows up and going; there
was one cow in the corner that was not getting up. I walked along the wall up
to her and kicked her to get her going. She
looked at me and as she got up, she charged at me! With a lightning-quick-farm-ninja move, I
stepped to the side and she hit her head on the wall. As I looked at her from a
distance, she seemed pretty defensive. I decided not to press my luck with her
so I just looked at her number (I can’t remember what it was now) and went on.
When I had gathered the rest of the cows in the holding pen, I went in and let Uncle
Ross know I had gathered them all except for one and gave him the cow’s number.
Ross asked “Why didn't you bring her in?”
When I told him that the cow had charged me he gave me a questioning
look as if I were talking nonsense. He confirmed
the number with me and was pretty confident that “that cow would not do such a thing.” Together we went out to get the cow. As we neared the straw pile he went up to check
the number on the tag as I hung back, keeping my distance from the mad cow.
When Ross confirmed the number he turned around to tell me
that “this cow would not hurt a …..”
As he spoke I saw the cow charging toward him in the
background, I pointed at the cow stuttering Uncle Ross's name.
Uncle Ross said “What?”
He turned around to see what I was pointing at; just then the
cow hit him sending him sliding in the fresh manure. The cow broke off and turned around for
another run. Not quite sure what to do I
waved my arms and hollered while Ross raised his hand at the cow while working
his way off the ground. Between the commotions the two of us made, the cow
backed off.
As we walked away from the straw pile I said to Uncle Ross “Nice
cow huh?”
He didn't have much to say.
