For this delivery trip, he loaded up one large, old bull, and one little bull calf. Midway through the journey, the old bull’s head sud denly appeared where it had no business being, about the same time a passing motorist honked a hom alert. Charging back to the trailer after a screeching halt, the dismayed dairymen found one open door, and one big bull, but no little bull. Spinning around with the rig at the first handy spot, he retraced his tracks back through town. Sure enough, there by the side of the road stood two young ladies, bull calf in tow.
