They say you can walk through a field if the bull is there with the cows but I wouldn't like to try it.

I had a pony at the school and figured out after we got back that the reason for the sudden departure of 125 girls was that the bull was in the cow paddock!! They didn't want to have to do the biology lesson that would have been needed! Only two or eight classes would have had any chance of seeing anything interesting, but those nuns were taking no chances!!<br /><br />How times have changed - and for the better, don't you think?

In the end my neighbours decided he would do for tailing off the heifers, and then he was sent off to the freezing works. No more bulls for me - ever. I hope none of those hiefers are in calf.
