Boomerang Cow

Sold a cow to a neighbor. He lives about 1/2 mile away. Dogs were barking loudly this A.M. Guess what - cow came home. :-)

So you can now stop doing whatever it was you could do until the cows come home!

So, I wonder how many times you can sell the same cow? Sounds like a money maker to me!

Homing cows make more mess than homing pigeons.

Sold a cow to a neighbor who wanted to fattener her out for the freezer. After the third time she came back here, including climbing over a 5' high board fence, she went to the processor as she was.

Yea, but the cow can carry bigger messages, books/magazines, a bag of groceries, and when it gets there, can ring its bell (if so equipped).
