A%20calf%20graft%20gone%20wrong_zpsiudj9vmm.jpg

A calf graft gone wrong. If you will notice, these panels are extra tall and should be jump proof by any cow. This one went up high enough to catch a front leg between panels. A bovine characteristic is that they don't last long in an upside-down position.

Great set of pictures, it's nice to see the world outside my barnyard.

Do those Egrets eat flies off the cattle's backs or is that a different brand of Egret?

Looks to be "Cattle Egret" to me..

Never will forget the time I saw one pick up a small green snake and attempt to eat it...... The snake wrapped himself around the Egrets neck and wouldn't let go. I stopped the tractor and watched the action. It was a serious struggle for a while. The snake got away.
