If you can do it, sent that snow here to Denver. No fair that you and Willy2 are hogging it all!

We have had 20 inches here in the city since 1/1 and Wed nite/Thur am - about another 7+ coming. We could send most of it to Ed to put in the Gulf! Cool things off a little down there -

No thanks, we've already had enough ice this year.
We don't want any mooooore.

[Mookie]

You guys are so funny!

Just for that - I am sending more snow and ice your way! You can thank Houston Ed for that! The moisture came from Texas and the cold from Alaskaman! Brace yourselves!

The cow is knocked off the track because she is more willing to be mooved. (Don't demand an apology cause I ain't sorry! 8^Q)

I was watching a tape on Railroad history, and the first "cow catchers" were steel spikes attached to the pilot on the locomotive. (I am dead serious, I thought it was crazy too!) If the crew hit a cow they would have already found their meal for that day.

Mmm....Beef

Today a cow catcher would be called an "animal rights enhancement device" and be required by some goofy federal law called the "moo cow preservation act of 2004" sponsored by some equally goofy congressman named Joe Porkbarrel.[:-,][:p]

some may remember a while back my post KCS vs Milk tanker (GOT MILK)
A westbound KCS gen Manifest train loaded hit a milk tanker headon
there was a 4'x6' piece of 1/4 inch stainless stell imbeded on the nose of one of the last white KCS locos you could see the impression of the rotating headlights through the metal the train hit the trailer at 50 MPH no one was hurt except the truck driver when he told his wife (honey I got fired for loosing the milk lets go have sex ) the rig wasnt hurt at all the train moved 15 miles to the next siding till MofW crews arrived and pulled the sheet metal off the nose and a nother loco was brought in to take the train to Dallas[8D]

I think there are some breeds which are hornless; all we had on the farm were black angus or guernseys, and if I remember correctly, the guernseys were hornless.

As to the nub part, I think I remember Daddy having the vet cut a cow's horns to nubs one
time. I was REAL little at the time (age wise, since at 51 1/2 I'm only 4' 7" ) There might be several breeds of cows who have horns. Like the old Texas Longhorns, I believe, the
cows also had horns.

"Are a cow's horns in front of or behind her ears?"

I think MC is saying that most cows don't have horns....and if you can get close enough to tip - it's definitely a cow....

Okay, it's been a FEW years (I grew up on a farm), but if memory serves me correctly,
the cow's horns are neither in front or behind her ears: the horns are more like next
to the ears, maybe with 2-3 inches between the horns & the ears. Depends on breed
of cattle: some may have their horns in front/behind the ears.

Also, some farmers would have their cows dehorned while they were still young, so
they would not have horns. BUT I NEVER SAW A FARMER DEHORN A BULL!!!

Cows have longer legs???

[Mookie]

ok - so a long while back, I posted a statement from the old engineer - and he verified it again not that long ago - hit a cow and it throws it off the tracks. Hit a pig and it may get under the front wheels and derail the engine. Has to do with shape of body. Now remember, he was on steam and the first diesel and passenger. (to 1980). Not the newer diesels. Anyone out there besides me that has heard this?

P.S. Will the Mook have milk if we eliminate mad cows?

Mook only drinks milk from contented cows! [:X]

[swknox]

Awhile back I posted a thread about a guy getting hit on his John Deere Lawnmower while crossing the track while he was very Intoxicated. ( Slobber Knocker Drunk ) Anyway I don't think the train had a cow catcher because as you see it was not a steam engine but a SD 70Mac that hit him, it had a plow. But hey guess what, it did not scoop him off the track it threw his AS[censored] 15 feet from the tracks. Thats my [2c][swg]
