Size of A Cow


 If you’d’ve told me a month ago I’d be chasing 2 dozen cows around a field in a suit, then I’d’ve probably said you were talking a load of old bullocks. But that’s exactly what happened on Monday evening when a distressed secretary called to say the bovines had stampeded the paddock, flattened the electric fence & frightened the horses.
So I arrived at the forthcoming House of Crud to see her hanging onto 3 horses & surrounded by cows. The things you see when you don’t have a camera! The cows had done the same thing 2 days earlier when we first put the horses in the field, but they were desperate for water & our aquirement of the field had cut off their supply. A bit of a tete de tete ensued with the farmer, a few sentences like; ‘We do things different in the country, we tell people we’re doing,’ and ‘We did tell you what we’re doing.’ But we parted satisfied that the water supply would be fed from elsewhere – I think.

Anyway, the bloody cows had found a way through the hedge; a hole that Fatman, Sync & myself had missed when we were patching up the 4½ acre perimeter. I jumped in the field & thankfully they all followed me & with the aid of a Crudlet we ushered the animals back into their own domain & made the hole idiot proof. We should’ve led them straight to the butcher’s table as cows are stupid creatures & they deserve to be eaten.

Didn’t get a spot on my suit!
