Cows are for Grilling

 

What would a trip to Oregon be without some cows? Want to know about cows? Go ahead, you can ask me anything about cows… and I’ll probably give you the same answer. 

 

 

Uh, I dunno.

No, I don’t really know much about cows.

 

I know, i wear a cowboy hat….. that just means I’m smart enough to keep the sun off my neck and keeps me from frying my brain in the hot Central Oregon sun. It doesn’t mean i know anything about cows. Horses are more my thing.

Sure I worked a couple ranches as a kid and I moved some cows now and again. I spent one summer living at a ranch near Mitchell. I spent most of my time fixing fences, baling hay and sneaking off to go fishing when I thought nobody was around. There was always work to be done and very little involved cows so I never really took to them.

Besides, cows are ornery and stupid and the only good part about them is how they taste on the grill. Ribeye is best but you have to season it just right. Too bad they don’t make a special salt just for grilling….

Do not make the mistake of thinking that all cows are those sweet gentle petting zoo cows.

 

I tried taking a shortcut through this pasture to go fishing one day. I was half way across the field when that old red cow spotted me and came a runnin’

I made it to the fence in plenty of time but that cow was closing the gap. My neighbor told me she does that when anybody moves fast, but she was just bluffing. Well i wasn’t about to call her bluff.

 

I’ll stick to horses thanks.
