My friend and were at the "Cow Pasture" (newly in store
Cow Pasture Backgrounds - A Rowan54 Creation at HiveWire 3D) to cut wood and get it out of the way of motley collection of bovines (and other hooved beings) in that pasture. My job was to see that the gate was opened and closed quickly so there would be no escapes, and to keep the overly friendly critters from nudging my friend while he was using the chainsaw. (Well, I helped load wood, too.)
However, since I was new there, everyone was curious. Ever have a water buffalo come up within 3 feet to see what you are? Thing weighed more than our vehicle, and I'm not familiar enough with these know how skittish they are.
Then the young longhorn (only about 6-7 feet spread on the horns) came in really close and was trying to lick my forehead, or something. It also weighed as much as the truck, and I couldn't back up any further. WAY too close.
At least this wasn't quite as close as encounter as the previous time we'd been there, where I was inside the truck (with canopy on) trying to stack wood so we'd get more in, and one of the goats jumped into the truck. "Wow! Let's go for a ride!" and I'm like, "out...out...come on, shoo". At least goats weigh less than I do, usually.
The water buffalo, especially one of them, kept trying to come up behind my friend while he was running the chainsaw on trees and I kept having to stand there and go "Shoo!". (It weighs about a ton and I'm flapping my hands and going "Shoo!"? Seriously? What amazed me is that it worked. At least it kept backing up ten feet or so.)
This one is the overly friendly long horn.
This is WAY too close to the water buffalo.
