That would be hard to rope.
Seems rather inconvenient for the guy as well. No fences needed to keep him in. Just plant trees six feet apart and he'd be stuck.
I've read journals by folks starting cattle herds after the civil war. Almost all the young men went off to the war. Nobody was left to tend the cattle.
Parts of east TX became over run with wild long horns. Especially around Big Thicket TX. By wild I mean, they have horns and knew how to use them. They were just as aggressive as wild buffalo. They would kill or maim in a blink.
You can barely see it in the pic... Black on Black eyes. That's the first thing I notice about a cow. It usually means they are unpredictable and very dangerous.

Not my photo or my chicken, but the man who posted this photo and asked what to do with all the oil after the chicken is finished has been told repeatedly to pour the oil out before he puts the chicken in the oven.

When my brother was working at a restaurant in the casino they were told they had to label the contents of all of the containers. There were some empty ones he labeled as "dehydrated water". Before the labeling he pranked a new worker by sending him to look for "dehydrated water" in the pantry. Best part was, one of the supervisors was too stupid to get the joke and spent 30min helping the newbie look for it. They never caught on.

When you get excited over finding roma tomatoes growing in a ditch in the right of way...they are now transformed into 8 pints of Chow Chow

Was out jet-skiing in the Gulf of Mexico a few days back.
The dolphins like to come up and swim next to you. There were about 6 of them riding with us.

Also went parasailing. When flying high, you can look down and occasionally see sea life. Last time we were up, saw sharks. This time, a large stingray swimming just below the surface.

There is that term again: chow-chow. I've never eaten any, never been around any, and wouldn't know what to do with it if I was.
I equate it as a cross between salsa and pickle relish w/out tomatoes... I like it, always keep some in the house.
First jar I get from a friend, he and his wife make 2 or 3 gallons at a time for family and friends, best chow chow I've had... the next two - a commercial product with an ingredient list.

I wonder where this big guy lives?
I believe that's yellowstone. I copied a couple of bison pics last night. The caption was Yellowstone and Calgary.

We have bison between me and the homestead that started the whiskey rebellion.
I have bodacious plans in the event of an EMP to walk to the back gate, cut the lock, and set them free. They would be fish in a barrel for hungry hoards in small number. Set free to multiply, they could be a food resource to those that remain and rebuild....

It looks like a dead rabbit, maybe caught in the flora of the desert? What can you tell us about it?
It's a desiccated jack rabbit I found lying on the ground so I propped it up against some dry vegetation for a photo. Not sure how it came to be dead, not eaten but sometimes there's a rabbit die-off around here and the coyotes don't eat them, probably because it happens at peak rabbit population and there are plenty of live ones.

You almost had me thinking you had found a jackalope.
Did you try mouth to mouth, it might have made it

Gotta love the shirt and hat worn by this guy receiving a valor award for stopping a robbery.
