I had to go with Ivan's flying goat. If I remember correctly, the goats would do this repeatedly, it was really funny. Ivan, what's the story again?

Uh oh, you are probably referring to one of Tsu's stories [she's much funnier than me], but I built the dog/goat house and made it so the animals could sit on the roof. When we had the two babies - Spud and Tater - they took to leaping off the roof as their favorite pastime. Between the dogs and other goats going nuts, and the two teens racing to be the first on top, it was quite a scene.

I'm going with scorpa's. I like the angle of the shot...it gives the illusion that the hay bales are about to roll on top of you.

I was going to vote for Integral, however 3 of the cows were slightly out of alignment and one cow had its foot off the ground which ruined the whole effect.
You should have used more powerful magnets in your cows or maybe the truck behind them was disrupting the field lines.

Other then that the picture was great.

Errr, Cows?? That is a group of Bedlington Terriers tracking their prey, the great spotted field-otter.

Umm...I'm going to take a wild guess and say you must live in the city. :biggrin:

Perhaps visiting something like this will help: http://www.clubs.psu.edu/up/blockandbridle/MeetaSheep.htm

Or maybe one of these: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0000E2DJD/?tag=pfamazon01-20

:rofl: We could edit the poll and give Integral his sympathy vote, but then people might realize the polls here are susceptible to tampering. :uhh: Did I just give that away?

There was a girl in my anthropology class that is one of those really annoying people who always have something to say. One day we were talking about how humans have used artificial selection to produce livestock that better suits their needs. This idiot pipes up and says we have selected for the better ability of cows to produce wool...10 minutes later she still hadn't figured out why everyone was laughing at her.
