<Reared it. Milked it. Now they are eating the spare bulls.
Next they will rear it again. No wonder everyone is watching their rear end.

Haha!! Good point. Yes, there's one born every minute, so it won't be too many years before the next crop of bull mania is ready for the meat works.

Yesterday, daughter number 2 and I went for a jog/walk around Cornwall Park. There are cattle in there. They were ambling along the road/grass. One of the bulls had decided that a rubbish bin was being provocative and he lowered his head and gave it a couple of bunts and wanted to fight it. Bulls are innately bullish. They'll stupidly charge at anything that looks like a bull market.

The trouble is, rubbish bins are often disguised as good companies, so all too often, we find ourselves with a misplaced charge. I ended up in a rubbish bin [Globalstar] not long ago. Enron was a BIG rubbish bin.

It's a tough life being a bull!

There's a whole herd of bulls charging some gold mines right now, heads lowered, crazed eyes, foaming mouth...

PS: Speaking of watching rear-ends, one of the cows had a bull following 1 inch behind, with nose where he'd be arrested if he was human. He was distracted from rubbish bins [temporarily], hoping for an opportunity to do his bit for the milk supply and dividends. She seemed more interested in finding some more grass to eat. I guess humans are not that much more advanced that cattle.
