UPDATE: It seems this post has had the “no links” rule lifted for animal stories only 🙂
Oh, the Irish sense of humor. Daisy had farmer Tom Grant bamboozled for awhile. Every night he locked Daisy and the other cows in their shed only to find them wandering freely in the pasture in the morning. A special investigator was called in to help solve the mystery.
Here is the tale exquisitely told by an Irish newscast.
Huh, Orwellian fashion?
Was Daisy playing a prank on farmer Tom or is there a bit of blarney going on here?
(Hat tip to imacatLR for sending in this cow tale. Cow tales can be submitted to me at pats-at-tammybruce dot com.)

Celebrity Runaway Cow Gains Her Freedom
Yvonne, the cow who escaped slaughter and gained international fame by outwitting her pursuers for the past three months, has finally won her freedom, and can now roam to her heart’s content through the Bavarian forest where she has found refuge.
http://aipl.arsusda.gov/kc/cowfacts.html Kids will enjoy reading various facts about cows, including that the first cow in America arrived at Jamestown in 1611. Until the 1850’s most families had their own cow. Learn about the different breeds of cattle, dairying, and more. Finish off with a cow quiz.
But WHO taught Daisy how to open the gate?
Agent Zero, International Bovine of Mystery, of course!

As I noted to Pat, I think the irony of this video is the peaceful but mischevious cows juxtaposed with the violent rioting humans in the last few seconds of the clip.
I am basically a newbie. Can someone give me the history on how TAMs got into cows? I am not complaining. I am rapidly becoming a vegetarian these days.
Due to the 3 recent cow stories I think we need to take into acownt that these are female cows. Sounds like a woman’s liberation movement is going on among the bovines.
Also a point of protocol…should I lower my flag to half mast during the Cow Anthem?
Hmm, good question 🙂 I think it started because I love the “I Am Cow” song and other TAMs loved it as well, then it just gained cowmentum.
Ladybug13USA: I Am Cow Anthem Protocol(as I understand it): 1) Stand, if possible, 2) Remove any headwear, 3) Hand over Heart, 4) If you know the words, you should sing along. No adjustment to Flag necessary. Hope this helps.
Thanks Dennis. I am now ready for next Wed. 🙂
Thanks Tammy,
Did you know that “I am COW” has a facebook page? https://www.facebook.com/pages/I-AM-COW/122211467816341?sk=wall

Daisy not only knew what kept her bovine constituents from freedom, she showed them the way out. She’s the Sarah Palin of the pasture!
