One thing that farmers soon
learn to depend on in this business
is not to depend on anything.
That includes anything from
fickle government policies to a
normally gentle animal that turns
vicious with a newborn by her side,

Like a recent expedition ex
perienced by a dairyman friend
from a neighboring county.
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. Gratefully offering
them a small reward, the
dairyman reclaimed the errant
passenger and continued on his
trip.

brought back similar memories of
the farmer’s about a trip he, too,
made sometime ago that took an
unexpected twist.
Coming to a stop at a town traffic
light, he noticed the cattle trailer
door swinging open about the same
second a stranger appeared with
the same news. Before he could
dash back and slam shut the door
that had popped open, out jumped
a bovine not necessarily known for
her calm and gentle disposition.
In the ensuing excitement of the
next several minutes, she toured
neighboring urban yards, parking
lots and startled her share of in
nocents passing by.
About a half-dozen hardy
volunteer chasers seemed to ap
pear from thin air and a plan
emerged. The hauling rig would be
backed up to a yard where a handy
gap in a border hedge would serve
as a makeshift loading chute.
Needless to say, everyone
concurred 0 " thi« but the cow,

who managed to slip by the
roadblocks and depart once again
through the neighborhood, heels
flying.
By the time at least a dozen
urban cowboys, as well as local
law enforcement officials, had
turned up on the scene of the chase.
Eventually, the escapee was
surrounded by this group of
overwhelming numbers, aided by
a resourceful truck driver who
maneuvered his rig into the spot
where the fleeing bovine had
previously split.
Thus, the cross-country
marathon of beast and man came
to a satisfactory, and blessedly
relieved, conclusion, and all went
their own way.
So, while a fast-food chain has
made this phrse national catch
word, it was probably a farmer,
spotting an open door on his cattle
hauling rig, who said it first;
“Where’s the beef?”
