    So your crusin down the highway and you pass the farm, and all the cattle are standing there along the fence, have you ever had the urge to blow the air horn and see what they do?
    i ask cause the past few times iv passed the farm iv had the urge to do this, but decided not to cause im sure if a cop saw me do it their would be a hefty fine involved with this.

    so have YOU had this urge

    Gonna try to not be rude here but if you did that passing my farm I would make sure I broke every bone in your body.
    Sure you may think it is fun but think about your actions. More than likely you will spook them and they will begin to run. If startled enough you could send one or more into the fence. Funny? This could cause death or severe injuries that you will be liable for.
    Trust me....had this happen and believe me......we found the driver and although I did not break his legs, he does write me a decent check every month for my losses.
    Just not a good idea........

    Most dairy cows wouldn't even notice
    With all the traffic that goes by they get pretty numb to all the noise

    Hell, even the deer are numb to it. The other night, while traveling the two-lanes, I must have seen a few hundred deer standing along side the road in Alabama. I'd wait until I was right up on 'em and blow the horn. I could see 'em in the mirror, flipping me the middle hoof as I went by... lol

    oh no, i havnt done this yet, and i prob wouldnt do it either, but just had the urge, i went an agricuture high school, learned about the dairy cows and beef cows and sheep, and the whole farm life, our school is along side a highway. major traffic, but no trucks, and they never botherd to look when 2 cars had decided to try the roofs for tractions right next where they were. but i just was wondering if something was wrong with me for havin the urge.

    Never had the urge but I do try to 'moo' at them, but cant because I start laughing thinking of that Far Side comic.
    Its the one where the tables are turned. The car driving by has cows in it that are "moo"ing at the people in the field.
