I remember a story by Pat McManus in which he says there are two kind of cows, slow mean cows and fast mean cows. When I was 8 years old, I was given a bullwhip and told to go drive the cows to the barn pen. I promptly learn to crack whip and officially became a Mississippi Cracker and a Lash LaRue fan. The he only thing I ever say a bull try to harm was another bull.

Do you know any 8 year olds you would give a bullwhip today?
