Hey Burro

Sort by newest Sort by date
Coincidence? I think likely. Today I was going through my files on my very own personal saving place at work and found my accident report about a burro kicking my GSA vehicle several years ago.

I submit that our burro looks nothing like any of the examples posted here. Too bad in those days I didn't have a camera with me. Then we could see the truth.

The burro was mean and really mad I was driving on it's road. I think it was also really mad because I didn't produce food. You know them .gov burros. As it was leaving it kicked the front fender with it's hind legs.

The finding, if you care, was "driver should avoid roads with wildlife". No charge to me.

As the burro knows, sometimes in the rural areas there is only one road to where you are going.

Oh Fab, we're glad, there's lemon-freshened Borax in you!:sick:

I may be full of something, but I guarantee its not that.

Hey 20 Mule Team Burro, ya remember the Old Ranger washing his hands with Boraxo?

Yeah, but I wish he'd washed them before he preg checked me. Another unneccessary medical procedure that ended up costing us all. Maybe that's why donkeys get cranky at times.
 
Once upon a time, long long ago, a small group of me and classmates were assigned to accompany a near-term first-calf heifer through til term. Angus (that's small), bred to Charolais bull (that's BIG). After hours and hours of our various arms up as far as they would go (one at a time) trying to turn calf the right way, calf-chains and a dinnerplate-sized hoof sticking out (breech birth), stock manager finally decided to call the vet.

Vet saved the former heifer via c-section in front of our eyes, calf was stillborn. Haven't forgotten. :sick: whoever let that heifer be bred to that bull needed to be pounded on-hard.

undesirable yes, but pshhh, it happens.

Have you ever tried to keep a good bull away from a heifer that's ready and wants it?

IMO, Charolais bulls shouldn't be kept in the same pasture with anything but other Charolais. Charolangus is a great mix but it has got to be with an Angus bull and Charolais heifer. And the bull needs Wheaties and Vitamin E. Any cattleman worth his stuff knows that a Charolais bull will throw a calf too big for most other breeds of cattle to carry successfully. Got one Charolais bull? Don't let him near anything other than other Charolais. Got two Charolais bulls? Get out the elastrators.
 
Xactly, Ann. What happened was poor management-not blaming the critters at all, they do what they do. Stockman worth his salt would have prevented proximity in first place. Almost lost 2 valuable animals, as it was- lost profit.

Now, about that Kona....Kath, what's your favorite java? :)
 
Elastrators! Eeeeewwww. What about the bull's reproductive rights?

Were you thinking about the cattleman maybe?

Alevin, are you trying to change the subject?:D
