  1. To Keep a Cow from Straying

    Share Share Post
    Get a bucket and put it on the cows head. Put the opening on the opening of the cow's head and put the handle over her horns. Then the cow cannot see where she is going. This is called a puckeen. Tie a piece of a sack on the cows head and it will keep her from rambling.
