8/15: Livestock hit by lightning

[zeolite]

Any insurance he had probably does not cover Acts of (an apparently bovine hating) God.

Living in cattle country, there are several reports like this each year. Strangely, the lightning tends to jump from one cow to the other via their horns, of all things. Cattle must have some kind of sense as far as electrical charges are concerned because I have seen them exhibit the "stick head through fence during storm" behaviour before. And I can tell you, cows do get nervous when there is thunderstorm activity in the area. It might be the noise or the barometric pressure. Whatever it is, they have a concerned look in those big, stupid eyes of theirs.
