Default Helping with land out blues............

I always heard that, if you land in a field with only one cow it it,
it's a bull. I consider that to be good advice.

I once landed in an ugly empty field. Soon there were two fairly frisky horses clomping around my then 20; fortunately they kept their hooves to themselves. After snuffling the canopy by one of them they went back to their corralled area. To be replaced by five cows, one much larger than the others.
They turned out to be cows complete with appendages, the whole 9 yards as it were. And the lead one, a kinda Brahmin bull with a hump, seemed to be pretty cross that I was in his field. The younger ones, still complete ones, were increasingly agitated by the leader's crossness. For a while much scraping at the dirt and tossing dust and heads and snorting. I covered my face with my silly flying hat to prevent there being eyes for them to focus on -- and eventually they wandered off.
Most "interesting" landout ever for all sorts of other reasons. Glad it will never be repeated,

Recent research findings from independent groups in University of
Bristol and Sage college in Troy, NY, show cow dung to be an excellent
mood enhancing agent. Cow dung contains a bacteria Mycobacterium
vaccae, which activates a group of neurons in the brain that produce
serotonin - a neurotransmitter that contributes to feelings of well
being and happiness.
So the next time you land out or feel depressed try
finding some fresh cow dung and get a lungful of this fresh fragrance.........

Best. #711.
