Man pulled off a cow.
The second/third wave??
The only time I’ve transported cows was in the NT and I took my cue from mates when trying to persuade a cow to her feet by blowing up her nose. Seemed to work, perhaps she thought I was puckering up for a kiss. Irresistable.

Or perhaps she mistook you for Barbara Woodhouse!
Or Ann Widdecombe.
She said nothing, just sported an enigmatic smile.
Not sure whose nose Ann blew up, but Barbara Woodhouse was famous for blowing up animals’ noses aledgedly to calm them!
There was once a plethora of cows regularly ‘yanked’ by truckers in Pontefract at one time.
(So I’ve been told)
(Younger drivers who have spent their tramping carreers in lay bys, won’t have a scoob what I’m on about btw.)
Don’t remember Woodhouse’s reason for doing so, but in my case it seemed to annoy the beasts which encouraged them to get to their feet, the point of the exercise, in order to revenge themselves on the perpetrators, but long before that happened I was up the sides again like a rat up a drainpipe.
It has to be remembered that in the NT many of the cattle had little knowledge of humans and were semi wild. That’s how it was explained to me at the time.
That hasn’t changed.
She was a batty dog-trainer who gave somewhat contraversial classes for dog-owners on telly about 40 years ago.
Waaalkies.
that’s the one 
Yes, I remember her, just not that aspect of her ‘training’.
