hehe Thanks for the good wishes...

OK... Guys...

Here's a ONCE OFF NEVER TO BE REPEATED OFFER:

I promise and offer to ATTEMPT TO MILK CK's COW.

ON the following conditions:

That it's done at a piggy roasting
That Charles can assert to me that there's no more danger to my person than would be milking any other cow.
That All Sales of All Tickets go to the CFI Benevolent fund or the MUDD project.
That you bvggers don't laugh at me too much. (OK, you can break this one)

When deciding whether or not to accept this ONCE-ONLY OFFER... Please keep in mind that I have NEVER MILKED A COW. (or a Goat or any other beast of farm, did milk a cat once, but that's another story).

Why? I can hear you asking??? WHy would I make such an offer??? Well... Simply because I want you guys to put the hard word on Andrew to agree to taking me to the USA...

AND for that reason, and that reason alone, I am willing to humiliate, and possibly maim, myself.

Also, sounds like a heap of fun!

you dont want a pet cow. cows arnt pets, very few of them are smart enough to know you,

Cows is smart!! the cousins beefers can tell when the 2940 we use to haul round bales is started they all run for the hay feeder. you start any of the other 4 tractors and they don't bat an eyelash. If they see you with a 5 gallon bucket in your hand they think they ar getting fed.

thats cause its food, thats all they know, food. oh and letric fences. they have their rutine and their habits, day in and day out. and they revolve around food.

guess they'd feel right at home here.

asy,
I doubt that can assert to you that the cow will not hurt your body. If I have to milk a beef cow that has never been milked, she has to be in a squeeze shoot and back legs tied. Cows have eyes on the side of their head so the can see when to kick the person milking them.

its allmost like they have built in rearview mirrors.
friend of mine has wild angus. 60 or so run rampant over 180 acres of grass and 100 acres of woods. when they freshen you have to get them into a hedgerow, rope them into a tree then either put the calf on it or prepare for a milkin. you need a few guys to pinch her against the tree so she cant kick your hat off.

fresh heifers are allways great fun!

the Lone cow sounds like more trouble than the loan goat

YOU ARE NOT GETTING A GOAT!!!!!

Listen to Furby!

The goat will NOT just eat the lantana.... It will eat EVERYTHING in sight...

Andy, I understand from this that you want a goat? My son has 15 goats (actually my daughter-in-law has 15 goats), and when my son goes into the pen to feed them, they stand up on their hindlegs and try to get into the feed bucket. They are pushy creatures! That being said, I went with my son one day to a car dealership to co-sign for a car for his wife. In the course of filing out the paperwork, my son was discussing his occupation of welding with the salesman who seemed to think that welding sounded like hard work. We finished up all the signatures and such and as we got up to leave the office and my son began walking out, the salesman said, "You weren't kidding about working hard, were you?" My son gave him a smile and we proceeded to leave the building. Once outside, I was directly behind my son, and I observed the reason for the salesman's comment. My son's back was covered with goat hoof prints!

We laughed and laughed over that one!

Hmmm...

I'm not sure why, but I think the theory was that a Goat is less work than a cow...

Dunno about that...

Oh... They have miniature goats too!!!

But if your son had those, and they jump up on him.. I'd suggest he invest in a cricket box.

I thought that story was bonza !!!

Yes I did thinks goats might have been a good idea. We have some Lantana in a patch of Forest and goats are meant to be good at erradicating it.

But I've figured now that any livestock will be a problem since we want to be able to travel to a certain degree (both for pleasure and work)

Besides, Asy thinks I'm a goat

------ or was that some other kind of livestock $:-\$ $:-\$

It was a BEAR... a Cute Cuddly Furry BEAR...

Of course I'd NEVER say that infront of the Manly Sawyer types here...

It'll just be our secret, OK?

I must disagee with Tom "You gotta let her visit the neighborhood bull and get in a family way."
You go right ahead and get youself a cow,They really are not that much work,and when the time comes I can fix ole bossy up with whatever color calf you would like!I'm better looking than Mr. bull,eat less and will be glad to give you the ff discount.Of course we will need to take up a collection to cover travel costs,but as we already know ,if every one chips in just a little bit to help a fellow ff member it will be easy!

It sure beats working for a living.
