Clearly a no bull story!

I love cows...

If something new shows up where they are, they all head for whatever it is to check it out.

When I was 16, I was riding my motorcycle on some back roads in cattle grazing country. The engine stalled. So, I got off to change the spark plug, which was the usual cause of such stalls on my little 2-stroke engine. When I looked, up, I was surrounded by cattle. They had formed a circle around me and my bike. They were all about 10-12 feet from me, completely enclosing me with that circle.

Scared the crap out of me. I knew nothing about cattle. Were they about to attack? I stood up from my crouched position, and they all backed up about six feet, but were still circled around me. I waved my arms around and they backed up a little more. At that point, I decided that they didn't mean me any harm, so I crouched back down and changed the spark plug. They moved closer again, watching me closely.

Once I had installed the new spark plug, I straddled the bike and started the engine again. The cattle had moved back a ways. Once the engine started, I put it in gear and very slowly started to move on the road. The cattle moved away off the road, giving me room to ride on. They were never a threat. They were just curious.

Funny stuff. Scary, too, until I learned more.

I did learn something, though. Staying calm seems to have been the key.

Don't mess with bovines in Florida!
