I think that the worst time that any of the cows ever got lose was when a bull a got loose. We got a phone call that there was a couple of cows loose from the summer pasture at we rented at another farm. When we went to look at the place of the last reported sighting, we ran into several police cars.
We were informed that the bull was running into cars on the highway. Yes - running into cars, not the other way around. They said that prior to this he had attacked a person and the person had called the police from his garage. The bull had gored him and had attacked his car. The man that had gotten hurt came over to us talking the police. He said that it was the strangest thing! He had been petting him and when he realized that it was a bull, he jumped back. He also said he grabbed a pipe and that is when the bull went nuts. That is when he got jabbed in the ribs by the bull.
The police were waiting for a tranquillizer gun to come from the county seat. They were prepared though in case the vicious animal returned. We were waiting and after another 1/2 hour or so passed, the police got a call and left. We drove over to the farm and found the animal trying to get back in the fence. He got shipped the next day and we ended up paying the man's medical bills. We never heard anything about the cars that he supposedly attacked.
