A different kind of mad cow Alberta Canada 2000.....

Wayne went out to check the cows
and saw a very strange sight and was able to photograph the event. A
black bear approached our cow herd which turned out to be a very big
mistake on his part.

The blonde and white Simmental cow we know as I-12. She is a very good
cow, a very attentive mother and about 12 years old. She's in her prime and
knows that bears are bad news. She went right for him and tried her best to
mash him into the ground. A younger cow, R-55, an Angus -Cross cow, age
7, is helping her out as best she can. It is an incredible photo to see two
cows at once trying to crush the bear. There are a couple of photos where
the bear is biting I-12's leg and clawing her face but she is not giving up.
Her stiff tail shows how agitated she is. Wayne said all the cows were
bawling, the bear was squealing, the calves were running around with their
tails in the air. Finally, the bear decided to vacate the area. We thought
he'd be dead for sure, but there was no sign of him the next day. We'll
have to keep an eye out for eagles in the trees or flocks of ravens flying up.
We're sure he's got some broken ribs out of the deal at the very least.

I looked up the calving records of both cows who are so aggressive in these
photos and they are both good, calm cows around us and have given us no
troubles whatsoever. I'll have to add in my notes that they have a very
distinct dislike of bears.

We'll be watching I-12 over the next few days to see if she needs treatment
for infection. I don't know how willingly she'll come to the corrals for treatment,
but she might not have a choice.

Wayne couldn't believe his eyes when he witnessed this ruckus. This is
another once-in-a-lifetime photography event to add to all the others he
managed to document this summer. It is amazing.














Bear> WTF just happened!?


Bear> F*** it, I'm out of here!




, Bring a couple cows when hiking in bear country!

 

I've seen this bear and cow fight before. Poor little bear was outnumbered by those big bad cows.

 

If domesticated cows still had their horns into adulthood, that bear would not have made it back to the forest. You can see in the second through the seventh pics how they were using their heads instinctually, even though that wasn't what was injuring the bear.

 

Why does Wolfman need a drivers license to cavorte in the woods chasing wolves, mad cows, and Little Red Riding Hood?

You could train the bears to attack your friends

 

That don't look like Illinois to me...and I've been there...on a train....

 

So my brother Geoff has the damnedest bad luck with cars. The last three, including his 1990 Town Car, have had catastrophic failures, despite my best attempts to prevent such things. His Town Car, which is a hunk of s#!t, may have sucked valves or broke springs/rockers, because #2 and #3 plugs are jammed in the spark plug holes and will not come out. I put several hours (and a bunch of Dad's money) into fixing it so he'd have a car a handful of years ago. Originally replaced the engine, then the trans because the TV cable popped out when the grommet disintegrated. Other problems all eventually conquered, until now. No place to pull and tear the engine down, little storage, yadda, yadda. So I'm gonna strip the EFI, as much of it as I can, alt, starter, radiator, A/C bracketry, and swap tires and wheels (all for the Ranchero), etc. It just goes to prove, that no good deed ever goes unpunished.

 

That is not Illinois but it looks the same during summer weather. Keep in mind when riding a train, they go fast and objects may appear differently.

Or was that on my rear view mirror?

 

I remember as a kid hearing of a relative named Frank Stein. Seems like he owned a hardware store.

 

But, was his middle initial N?

 

So where's this located?
