Good stories. Our little place has steep hillsides, lots of it unsafe for mowing, and we keep a few head of cattle to help keep the brush in check. We get rid of the crazy ones, but they have to show themselves before you know they're crazy. The Brahma bull/tomato cage story reminded me of a young brahma that had a habit of squeezing through the slats of a round bale feeder. One morning the feeder was gone, the fence was wrecked, and the cattle were out. That brahma had gotten stuck in the slats and tore up everything getting loose. Did she learn? No - it happened a couple more times before she got too big to fit between the slats. We slowly bred away from the brahma line. They were pets in the pasture, but some or most went crazy when you shut a gate behind them, at least in my experience.

He'll be busy working and I�m handing him tools and he says, "give me that..." and I�ve already got it in his hand or "hand me that....."and I�ve got the portable light right where he needed it placed to see.
