Plus they are practically invisible in a pasture setting. Many times I've been fixing fence and heard one singing in the general direction of where I needed to go next, and I'd just go down the fence a ways, fix stuff there, and come back later. <br /><br />I don't remember how many that I've nearly stepped on. That'll give ya the heebie jeebies for the rest of the day.Jeffrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06873138122305060834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7961111.post-29535401184303616052011-04-02T16:21:01.312-05:002011-04-02T16:21:01.312-05:00True, except for rattlesnakes.

Now I've heard Texas rattlers are another story...but then compared to Texas anything, I suppose California bred things look especially mellow.<br /><br />I was surprised to hear that the most dangerous animal in Africa is not the lion or the elephant, but the buffalo which is mean and will attack anything. Why shouldn't his domestic American cousin not have a little of his moxie?Lisa Paulhttp://leftcoastcowboys.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7961111.post-20167138593109835082011-04-02T13:26:26.442-05:002011-04-02T13:26:26.442-05:00Excellent post!

He has been beaten up so many times he looks about a hundred (although I can't keep up with him for five feet once he gets moving). He can name just which injury came from what cow. His most aggravating one came from a cow we thought was a real milk wagon so we hung on to her way longer than we should. She was SO mean. Went on test and she was giving fifteen pounds....And thank you for the link.threecolliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05811004278088768813noreply@blogger.com
