...and where do you stand on Ermines?

Usually on their tail. They're much easier to control that way.

I feel attacked. I am exactly the type of person that would get too close to a bison. I'm very comfortable around domestic bovines and would expect bison to behave exactly the same.

They are...right up to the instant they are not. Reminds me of the 'cow' I tried to get back into my neighbor's pasture once. Pro Tip: Be sure to check the "undercarriage" before you get "udderly" surprised.

Had the pleasure of seeing one of those 'Darwinians in Training' nearly get steam-rolled by a bison in Yellowstone two years ago (before Covid). Sadly, that individual escaped and is still potentially adding to the dilution of the gene pool.

A couple decades ago I used to help a friend of mine show bulls at the local fair. Not all bulls have a horrible temper.

In my particular instance, it may have involved a beer. Or two.

Our neighbor has a small farm (25 or so acres) and used to keep several milking cows. Occasionally one might get loose and create a hazard on the County road that separates our properties. So, one evening after dinner (where one or more beers may or may not have been consumed) I saw a bovine creature parked in the middle of the road.

Being a good neighbor, I hoofed it down to the scene to herd it back to the pasture before some apprentice driving teenagers came barreling down the road. The ‘cow’ took notice of me at the same moment that I took notice of “his” equipment. My neighbor had rented a bull, I guess to make the cows contented.

Fortunately, el toro had also concluded that there weren’t any cows on my side of the gate and headed back to the pasture instead of going all “territorial” on my inebriated ass.

Might have had another beer (or two) after that close call.

My in-laws like to tell the story of why my wife's maternal grandparents sold the bull and went with AI back when that tech was pretty new. Apparently back when she was a young grade schooler my mother in law wanted to help bring in the cows for milking. She encountered a particularly stubborn cow, and she ended up grabbing a corn stalk and beating the ornery bovine with it all the way to the barn, where her dad almost had a heart attack seeing his precious daughter doing her best to beat the snot out of an ornery bull. My mother in law had not learned how to tell the bulls from the cows.

Apparently he sold that bull the next day and never bought a new one.

edit: but i don't know how mass mind control compares to a little girl smacking a bull with a corn cob to get in the barn.....

Instead of slapping them with steak, can I use duck livers and just give them a little pate on the back?

No, just no. Just when I thought this story couldn't get more quackers.

Fun fact about me, I took a short course on how to AI bovines back when I worked on a dairy farm for a few years. Weeks later, before I had a chance to use that new skill, the farm manager announced that only a couple of people who had already demonstrated that they were decent at it would have that in their job description going forward.

I spent a couple hundred to take that class, and I've never put what I learned to use.

I challenge everybody to change your reading comprehension this weekend. every time you read AI that's in context with Artificial Intelligence, instead read it as if it was in context with @Kent88 's post above.

makes for some good laughs
