I found these 2 guys in a swamp area next to the miles of nature trails I ride on my bike most every day. Fact about cows: Cattle get excited when they solve problems. When faced with a challenge of finding out how to open a door to reach food, their heartbeat goes up, their brainwaves show excitement, and some even jump with joy into the air.

This little guy ran behind a tree to study me. Cattle are extremely curious and inquisitive animals and will investigate everything. When I had the ranch in Texas, if I was fixing a gate that they figured out how to open, 12 cows would come running and stand in a line and watch my every move. I had to be sneaky or they would see what I did – then as soon as I left they would undo it – That last part about having to be sneaky, was only a joke!

Now, another thing about cows – calves often have the same markings and the same tendency to be curious as Momma. But often they have Pappa’s coloration. What you think, did I find Momma?

See, figuring out how to get to the other side where the grass is always greener! Bye for now – I need to go check that fence!
