Narrow Escape

Cruise was rolled by a cow this afternoon!  Silly dog should have listened and stayed in behind, but no the brain disengages when cows get stroppy, but almost the death of him today.  Amazingly he's fine, although expect him to be stiff tomorrow when he's let out of the kennel.  He was lucky in that the head boring down upon his body just missed, and he rolled through underneath her - phewwww!!!  I hate it when that happens. 
Cows with calves are the most dangerous of cattle beasts, some of them just get into a blind rage, and anything gets charged - leave a bull for dead in the anger stakes, although you don't want to get in the way of bulls fighting either, as you are such a little pimple you aren't noticed.  Fortunately it doesn't happen very often, and most of our cows are pretty well behaved - they get the kill tag if they're not!
TB testing tomorrow, so hopefully they come in smoothly - I'll let you know!
