That was a good idea cowsense. Since I am up waiting on a gentle acting heifer to calve, it might be safe for me to do it right now.
Does anybody but me love the Ben Green books? He has a story in WILD COW TALES, I think the book is, about the banker asking him to bring a cow that a certain farmer owes the bank. The story starts with the banker and Ben sitting around eating breakfast at a small town cafe very early in the moring. Ben is a teenage lad, and he doesn't want to wait around for the bank to open, so he hands a big wad of cash to the banker, asking him to deposit the money, when the bank opens up. The banker takes the opportunity to lecture Ben about doing business in an businesslike manner, and tells Ben that what goes to the bank, need to be taken to the bank.
So Ben goes after this cow, and after considerable trouble manages to pony this cow along with himself (horseback of course), and when he gets to town with it the next morning, it is still early, so he just leads the cow up to the front of the bank, and pokes the tail of his rope through the bank door handles and takes a wrap around a pole or post that is handy. Then Ben goes back down to this local cafe for a bite to eat. In a few minutes the banker comes in and asks Ben just what it the hell he is thinking? Ben says, "yesterday you told me that what belongs to the bank, goes to the bank, and I wanted to be sure you noticed that I learned my lesson". :lol:
Hope I did that story justice, as it has been a while since I read it.
Those are great books.
