Man kills own cows when they won't go back home
PROSSER, Wash. (AP) — Prosser police say a man ran over two of his own cows when he couldn't get them back onto his property.

Officer Mark Cole says the 57-year-old was reportedly using his white van to try to corral six cows that had escaped Friday afternoon.

The Tri-City Herald reports someone called the police to say a reckless driver was running over cows.

The man apparently became frustrated, ran over a city-owned fence and two of his cows. Both cows sustained broken legs and had to be killed.

1. He's doing it wrong.
Cattle ranching is work.

I recommend a change of career for this person.

14. Yeah I know
But I guess I'm just old school, I'd rather have a good "using horse" as my dad used to call them. He bought me a little paint gelding when I was 13 that was already 10 years old and whoever had trained him knew their business. I didn't work cattle on him, I sat on him and gave him a little direction while he did all the work ;)

11. I would have agreed with that advice last week. But now, I don't want this
guy near a horse, a dog, or any more cows. Idiot is right...
