Mustering once upon a time I had a bull being chased by a stockman go under the tailboom on a Hughes 300 after I'd landed.
Its very important, if you ever go mustering, to have some rudimentary tracking skills. So you can find the animals.
How do you tell the difference between cow!!!! and bull!!!!?
Well, if you pick up cow!!!! and smell it, it smells sort of like cow!!!! and if you pick up bull!!!! and smell it, it sort of smells like cow!!!! so you can't tell that way.
If you pick cow!!!! up and roll it around in your fingers, it sort of feels like cow!!!!. If you pick up bull!!!! and roll it around in your fiingers, it sort of feels like cow!!!!, so you can't tell that way either.
If you pick up some cow!!!! and throw it up in the air it falls to the ground and makes a sort of a PLOP noise. Thats cow!!!!.
BUT, if you pick some up and throw it into the air and it STAYS up there.........thats bull!!!!!
