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

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

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.

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.”

This is not necessarily so: cows, bulls and steer have often been dehorned. The reason a bull will be more than cantankerous with you for trying to milk him is his aversion to becoming a steer.

All very interesting. Just to confuse the issue there is no singular form of the collective term "cattle" & cow is generally used for one example whether it be male or female. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cattle#Singular_terminology_issue

Going back to the original news item the "Silly Cow" in the subject line was actually a Belgian Blue bullock (castrated male).

If you ever hear a redneck yell "Hey ya'll, watch this!!!" it's a good idea to step back, because it's usually the last thing they ever say. Cheesy

It's not so unbelievable that Ozzy's antics would be considered Art and Entertainment in the U.S.

Terminology also differs by location. Australia has its own and I doubt much of Britain has a natural occurance of bovine dogies and mavericks. Neither was dogie nor maverick ever a common term in New England, .

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

Cause if you try to milk a bull, he'll look at you with love in his eyes.... Smiley

Wouldn't advice doing that though. While taking a visit to my relatives in the countryside, I attempted milking cows. There was this silly chicken that kept on eating the cows dairy. I went in front to chase it away and the cow wasn't happy about that it (lightly) head butted me but I got mud all over my designer gumboots. Undecided

Most people think that flying a plane is dangerous, except pilots because they know how easy it is.
Arguing with a pilot is like wrestling with a pig in the mud, after a while you begin to think the pig likes it.
