Sage words from Mr. Rogers.

Kenny Rogers. Not… what’s the other one’s name? The one with the neighborhood?

Ken recommends knowing when to walk and when to run. This is a must have skill with livestock.

You walk slowly away from a bull (or show him you have a water hose. Contender is terrified of running water.)

You walk with a brisk purpose away from the beehive you just opened without a suit,

and you move with great haste from the scene of the crime when a mama realizes you’re tagging her newborn calf without permission. Dignity can be picked up at a later date. Once the cow realizes her calf has new jewelry, usually they forget their bloodlust. Usually.

Fred. His name was Fred. How could I forget. Good name for a steer too.
