Years ago, a friend of mine bought 20 red heifers, that had a little ear. I figure they were about 1/4. He brought them home and unloaded them right at dark in a lot that was built of cross-ties and 2x6's, 6' high. Called me that night to know if I could help him with them, the next morning. I showed up shortly after daylight and when we finished coffee, we walked to the lot and counted a total of 3 still in there. The others had jumped out.
As it turned out, these were some mighty good mama cows. Raised fine calves, gentle as could be in the pasture, but if you penned them, they was gonna jump out. I believe they had a little deer in them from somewhere back down the line.
