We had more traffic in the corn field this morning than we could ever imagine possible. We have our cows grazing corn out behind the yard. They get about 2 acres at at time, and then we move the fence. Behind them is an area of knocked down corn, with bits and pieces of leftovers on the ground.
A local goose flock has caught on to this, and decided that the leftovers would make a good snack. Our local coyotes have caught on to this and decided a corn fed goose would make a nice snack. To make the circle complete, one of our old cows has decided a coyote would make a nice snack.
This is the way it worked out this morning. Keep in mind that all this happened in an area of already grazed corn that might be 8 acres at the most. We had 200 cows and 150 calves out grazing corn. Add to that about 800 geese. Add to that a couple of coyotes lurking around trying to pick off a goose. One coyote is sitting by the fence, and one is creeping across the open part, stalking a goose. Along comes old cow, creeping up behind the coyote, stalking him, shaking her head.
In the blink of an eye, the coyote pounces at a goose, the cow pounces at the coyote, and there are geese everywhere! It was like a goose explosion. :shock: :shock: Honking, flapping, feathers raining down from the sky!
No animals were injured in the making of this incident. :wink:
