We have the same setup - cows just across the road and we frequently hear them mooing at feeding time but the farmer seems to beat them to the draw most of the time and serves up supper before the bellowing begins. Sometimes he drives around the feed yard honking his horn and cows seem to materialize out of thin air heading for the feed bunks. Nothing dumb about cows.RVMommaTo6 said:I've spent weekends at my camper (TT) for the past 3 years. We're on an 8 acre property with a creek and some woods. Directly across the street from us are cows. I see them but I have never smelled them or heard them or noticed them in any way except seeing them. Sometimes the kids will walk over and pet them, but that's not my thing. This morning, I woke up to them mooing up a storm. I looked out the window and didn't see anything unusual. I finally decided I would walk over and see if maybe one was having a baby or something. I got dressed and when I walked outside, the farmer (whom I've never seen) pulled up in a tractor so I didn't head over. He dropped off some big bundles of hay, they started eating and I haven't heard a peep since lol, turns out cows must moo when they're hungry!

Yes, luckily the cow on her way to the slaughterhouse was not hurt. :Luckily she wasn't hurt

Shortly after I had set up camp on the quarter section of bush I had bought I was visited by 1/2 dozen cows with calves. I checked the fence lines and found a stretch through the lower woods where the posts were rotted off and the wires down so I phoned the neighbor about it. After introducing myself and explaining the call I offered to do the repair work on the fence if he would drop off a dozen posts for the project.
He did and I spent several long hot sweaty days carrying the posts through the woods, digging holes, and restringing the wire. Finally got'er done and called him to come and chase his cows home. He came with a couple helpers on horseback to round them up. When he saw them he got a funny look on his face and said "Those aren't my cows" I must have had a funny look on my face too when I heard him but do have a sense of humor so we both got a good laugh out of it.
Turns out the cows were wading across the river from the other neighbor's pasture : but at least I had a good fence and a good neighbor to the south ;D
BinaryBob said:OK... Here's my cow story.
A few years back a friend and I were having dinner in Wisconsin. I decided to have a little fun with the waitress. She asked for our drink order. I said with a straight face, "I'll have a Holstein."
"A WHAT?" she asked.
"You know. that popular beer made in New Glaris"
"Oh.. You mean a Spotted Cow."
"Yes!.. That's it! A Holstein!"
She rolled her eyes and came back a few minutes later with the beer and told me the bartender who she has never seen smile or laugh in the 10 years she's worked there, cracked up laughing on that one.
That's why it's better to be ankle deep in barn lot muck when around cattle. It cushions the blow (if one could call it a 'blow').Isaac-1 said:The worst part about a cow stepping on your foot is how they stare at you like, stupid human why are you suddenly screaming. Worse yet when you try to shove them off of your foot they lean into the shove and step down harder.
Paper factory in Louisiana in my back yard. Beet factory in North Dakota 10 miles away. Beet factory worst by a factor of 10.salty14 said:Many years ago when my son was little, we lived in a TT on an Indian Reservation in Alpine Calif. There were free-range cattle all over out there, though they mostly stayed away from the RV's. I don't recall there being any smelly issues. Now I'm in a different TT in south central Idaho with a sugar beet factory nearby - now that's an ugly smell! Not as bad as a paper factory, but way worse than CS!!! Luckily the wind is in my favor most days
