Scottish SPCA Inspector Kerry Kirkpatrick contacted the farmer after being alerted to the cow's plight.

He said: "When the job came through my first thought was, this is a wind up, but I arrived at the field to find the cow looking confused but surprisingly calm despite having his head wedged tightly in between the rungs of the ladder.

Methinks that SPCA inspector needs a biology lesson. Roll Eyes

I was so busy chuckling I didn't even notice that Doug Grin

Maybe it was a hermaphrodite cow and the inspector was just thrown by the necklace....

Always were when I was at school. Apparently this is not necessarily the case now. No wonder I'm confused. Undecided

Perhaps the only truth to it being unlucky to walk underneath a ladder? Cool

An adult female that has had a calf (or two, depending on regional usage) is a cow. A young female before she has had a calf of her own and is under three years of age is called a heifer A young female that has had only one calf is occasionally called a first-calf heifer.

A cow with a ladder is called a coniving bovine and guilty of trying to get up to the hayloft.

Flying with twins is a lot of fun..

I think this is where the term "Bull-Crap" and it's more naughty version came from.

Quote:

A bull is an intact (i.e., not castrated) adult male of the species Bos taurus (cattle). More muscular and aggressive than the female of the species

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bull

"I have a place where dreams are born, And time is never planned. It’s not on any chart, You must find it with your heart."

Albert Einstein - "Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe."

Martin Luther King Jr. - “Nothing in the world is more dangerous than a sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity.”

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe - “There is nothing worse than aggressive stupidity.”

Mark Twain - “Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience.”

There is no male cows or male heifers. They are called bulls or steers. Wink

So if you ever have to milk a cow, they will be the ones without horns. Cheesy

Someone else can explain what a steer is.. I get tears in my eyes when I talk about that. Wink

Thanks You two! I'm not sure why they change them names like that. Chicken-rooster-chicken(don't start H) Bull-Cow-Steer-Hiefer, Boy-Man-Girl_Woman-Baby. All too confusing.
