[Introduction] In the spirit of the Horse Whisperer and the Dog Whisperer, comes the Cow Whisperer.

Give me no more than five of your best lines to control bad cow behavior. The key is to be calm and assertive and a pack leader.

You may sing or wax poetic and use a haiku or not.

You may moo.

Whatever you do, stay calm and have fun.

Example where I use a haiku:

Moon river cow herd
Come to your whispering bull
Hooves moos in moonlight

Here I am whispering to my friend Peeker in this picture. You don't have to stand in back, but sometimes it is good in the beginning.

Hooves of Fire!    
Be still bovine loins
Calm ever thundering hooves
Think of puffy clouds

HawaiianPeach    Hay, a full moon, tiny lights, diddle diddle.
Oats in the crib for your dining pleasure,
When you come, come, come home to the stable.
Surround, be fresh, sweet straw.

HOOVES    
Pass the big bottle
Some sauces adorn me shelf
Barbeque ready *Bigsmile*





Octobers Lie    
Swaying ever so gently the timothy grass
Like a mirage viewed through a fence afar.
Nothing compares except a bovine lass
Sharing her cud at the local milk bar. *Laugh*



Dale Arthur    Golden Slumbers (sung to the tune made famous by the Beatles)

Golden slumbers fill your stall
a softly whisp'ring cowherd calls,
"Sleep little bovine, do not stray,
and I will fork you in some hay...."

andrew    Come with me my spotted one,
The "Calfa" is right this way.
Enjoy some warm milk there,
The mootender is a friend of mine.
At least your not a chicken.

Lexi Ashen Married John Ashen    
You'll be safe there
while resting your udders,
learning how to prepare
different types of butters.



Princess Megan Bella Rose    The cows all go to
the meadows at midnight.
They dance to the tune of
"Don't Fence Me In"
and are back for breakfast at dawn.

a sunflower in Texas    {a sunflower in Texas}
Be my dear "cow"tess
And moo in my ear,
Then I'll tell some tales/tails
About your bull for next year.


PixiedustGirl    Moo me a lullaby,
Your bells fill my ears
I'll enjoy a cold beer
With a steak medium rare

Hooves of Fire!    
Come be my bovine
Pasture beckons glistening
Haystack invites us
Shall we whisper and converse?
Share my cud and rest



Laart1-Season of the Heart    There's a storm on the horizon
Cows tails are risin'
Must they leave us to mutter
Out here in the clutter
Home is where the barn is.

Chuckster    You're holding out for a hero
But there's no beef over there
Take some prozac and watch reruns
of Boo-Boo and Yogi Bear

MOO for President    Listen my friends to the words
of my hero, Ogden Nash:
The cow is of the bovine ilk;
one end is the moo and the other the milk...


HawaiianPeach    
Ancient calves breathing, blowing secrets
visible only as mists through a chill
repeat, recycle, rinse soften spin
the downy stroke. Coo. Coo. Cud you
come this way?

Dale Arthur    Special memories slumber, cow-person take heed!
A placid exterior belies what fly-twitching ears hear,
Drumming hooves, herds in headlong flight on ancient plains.
Do not listen resting bull-child, chew your cud,
Forget stampede, think instead about nubile heifers.


andrew    Allow me to introduce myself
I’m an Alien cow leader in the Milky Way
Be calm little cow, your day is near
Bush messed up...
It's the cow’s turn, no need for fear.


Lexi Ashen Married John Ashen    
Rest here in the cool shade;
Your complexion is looking wan.
There's no reason to be afraid
of The Great Caesar Moo-lan!




Princess Megan Bella Rose    Bonnie and Clyde, two of Farmer Jones cows have disappeared.
The other cows know where they are.
They are on the west side of the ranch-
dancing to Johnny Rivers Slow Dancing song.
Making cow eyes at each other and grazing on the green grass.
Bonnie and Clyde return to the barn. Normal cows by day, lovers by the light of the moon.


HOOVES    Little cow, little cow
Calm yourself down
Your hay is all ready
You can't moo and frown!


a sunflower in Texas    Jersey, Hereford, Angus, Longhorn
Ribs, shanks, pot roast, steak
Milk, cream, ice cream, butter
This carnivore loves you!

Sarah    Monochromatic Cow
Black and White
Supplier of Milk or
Provider of Meat?
You decide...

PixiedustGirl    Riding with the windows down
My ears detect that beautiful sound
MOO MOO MOO
The air is sweet yet vile
I think I smell that cow manure pile
EWWW EWWW EWW

Hooves of Fire!    Things will get better,
Just graze there and moo
Seasons will change the snows to the green
Be safe on your hillside clouds part blue scene

Chuckster    To control and/or correct bad cow behavior....

Show affending cows a picture of a horse with a bottle of Elmers Glue attached his hoof.

Construct a timber wolf puppy raising farm on the property adjacent to the grazing pasture.

Have the song theme from Rawhide played on high volume continuously while the Marlboro man cracks a whip during their lunch.

I believe if these methods are correctively and methodically employed in accordance with and/or following those medially certified and offer expert advice, you will observe results..although individual results per cow will vary.

C.L. Hanna ~ *Writer For Hire*    Noticing your moo-d,
I then smoothed your bull-ish brow,
Happy to cud-dle.

Essie    Cow's leaning. The fence is old.
Soft, brown eyes in winter's cold.
Oh, broken fence. Escape's not bold.
"Might get shot!" It is foretold.

Octobers Lie    
From pasture to pasture an aging bull travels a beaten path
Searching for the luster of greener and more desirable fields
A wise cow knows the grass always looks so much greener
And decides to take the rocky trip all the way around the fence
A bull in the green lush field finds he must fiend for himself
While the smart cow enjoys bags of feed and endless rolls of hay

*Laugh*

HawaiianPeach    How now, brown cow,
frowns your bovine brow?
A purple cow, you're not, so smile.

Maryann    Toora, loora, loora
Toora, loora, li
Toora, loora, loora
Hush, cow, don't you cry
Moo, moo, moo, moo, moo, moo...



Evelyn - Writing on Fire    Flies buzzing,
Sun warming,
Cud chewing,
Lazy cows.

andrew    No filet nor porter
quiets my longing palet,
A friend is what I need,
Different speices can stop us
Shall it?


Hooves of Fire!    Thanks to everyone for another great campfire!

Love,
Hooves

The End!
