BOVINE
BEHAVIOR
by Paul Steiner
Art by Dean Carpenter
Near Marengo, Wis., a dozen head
of cattle ganged up on a bear and
chased it more than 500 yards into the
adjoining woods.
A farmer in Natal, South Africa,
reports that when he rigged up a pho
nograph at the door of his barn and
played Chopin's "Grande Valse Bril
liante," every cow within 200 yards
stopped feeding and listened attentive
ly, but when he put on a modern band
recording, the bovines lost interest and
resumed feeding.
Heartbroken over her stolen cow,
a woman in Savannah, Ga., rushed out
to the stockyards, calling her favorite
bovine by name: "Susie, Susie." Susie
soon trotted up two hours before she
was to be butchered.
For an hour, a lost heifer in
Taunton, England, bellowed in distress
without anyone discovering where it
was. At last.it was spotted atop a town
landmark which it had reached by
climbing a 175-foot spiral staircase. It
was lassoed and led safely down.
When his cows came home from
Pasture so drunk they had to be milked
lying down, farmer George Brows of
Vancouver, B.C., decided it was time to
investigate. He discovered the boozy
bovines had been eating fallen apples
which had fermented.
After vociferous protests, the
county council of Highwicken, England,
banned cows from the local lovers'
lane as unwelcome intruders.
A bovine electric shaver has been
introduced to give cows the new look
in haircuts.
In Ringvvood, England, Bridge
Birch, a bovine credited with producing
more milk than any cow in the world,
drinks half a gallon of beer every day.
A farmer in Black Hawk County,
Iowa, finally spotted the cause of an old
hump on his cow's flank when he no
ticed 12 inches of pitchfork handle pro
truding from her ribs.
A cow owned by a Cuthbert, Ga.,
dairy farmer will not leave her stall
after milking time until the farmer
scratches her back.
When Wilfred Gagne gazed from
a window of'his farm near Rochester,
N. H., he was astonished to see two
moose grazing in the pasture with his
cows. As he ran out for a closer view,
the moose dashed into nearby woods.
