It's amazing how the herd instinct takes over. All it takes is one pun, and you get a stampede.

To be fair, we should express some concern for and compassion towards the cow.

Realistically, being raised on a rural farm, I'd guess the max was probably around 7~800lbs. Sensationalism in the media. :roll:
There are loads of 2000lbs+ cows around here, and this is cattle ranching country.

Yarp. When I'm done renovations and playing at being an automechanic, I'll get me a decent DSLR and take some pictures of them. :tea:

Oooh and maybe a big horn sheep bowling down the mountainside from a mountain lion's leap. There are tons of both of them in the mountains south of me too.
