Farmers That Were Completely Perplexed By Their Animals


Someone on AskReddit got an entertaining thread going about the times that farmers were left utterly puzzled by strange stunts that their animals pulled. Some animals are more mischievous than others. Or there's those chickens, and how they've been known to apparently let loose cursed cries if one mocks them.

Text - Vexonte • 4h Not exactly a farmer but my family raised chickens. One day I walked outside a mockingly Kawd at them. In response they all simultaneously made a noise that sounded like the cries of the damned. Reply 853

Text - PrincessPoofyPants • 4h My horse started army crawling to get out of the paddock. We kept wondering how he got out when the fence was intact, until we caught him do it. Reply 532 ...

Because of him, another neighbor, an old man was saved. Old man passed out and was on the floor, the llama went to another neighbor and led them to the old man. Reply 1 705 ...

Text - Back2Bach • 4h 2 Awards An ass that wore a hat. My grandparents were farmers. Grandpa would leave his wide-brimmed straw hat hanging on a hook just outside the barn door. On hot days, his ass would coax the hat onto its head to shade his eyes and stay cooler in the heat. Reply 1.4k ...

Text - HoroEile • 5h Semi mummified chicken wedged behind a tree. Notable mainly because my island is basically windswept moorland and you have to go a damn long way to find anything bigger than a daffodil. How it escaped the hen house and wandered nearly two miles without being picked off by an eagle/crow/ raven/bonxie we will never know. Can only assume it eventually died of shock at seeing its first ever actual tree. Reply 731 ...

Text - paperconservation101 • 4h 2 Awards My parents live in a rural area. A small holding farm shares the fence line. My parents have found our cat riding their sheep 4 times. This is an indoor cat. When it escaped it goes to ride a sheep?! 6 sheep chilling eating grass with our cat on the back of one of them. He's not a small cat either, he's a fucking unit. Riding the god damn sheep.

Text - MunchyG444 · 3h When we had a pet lamb we used to take it on walks. Anyway when we needed to cross a fence we would jump over/through, and then part the wires so the dogs and sheep could get through. After about 6 months we released her back to the herd. And proceeded to often find her in other paddocks and even caught her in the act of parting the wires and jumping through fences. That same sheep has now 2 years later figured out how to open gates. Can open 2 of the 3 latch types we have

Text - SilverFHorn • 3h Had a Jersey cow that somehow managed to get sunk up to her shoulders in some weird mud pit. Luckily I was out to do a fence check on the back pastures when I found her and was able to pull her out with the four- wheeler. WTH?! Reply 103 ...

Text - theEyerisEmbracesYou • 2h My sister had a jackass and a paint horse at one point. The jackass was super chill while the horse was wild af (my family tried to tell her the damn thing was crazy because it had blue eyes buuut she loved a paint horse. Plot twist: the horse was fucking buck wild) and would harass this poor donkey like a toddler. My grandpa walked out one morning and almost pissed himself laughing because the jackass had gotten ahold of the horse's bridle and was leading it aro

Text - bighairyyak • 4h In case you're unaware, pigs are incredibly smart and will eat ANYTHING they think they can digest. Live or not. A friend of mine had their pigs in one pen and their chickens in an immediately adjacent pen. 3 of their hens managed to jump the fence between the pens and found themselves amidst the pigs. The pigs immediately circled the hems and forced them into a corner. By the time my buddy got over there, there was nothing left of the hens except for a wing sticking out

Text - andthenitrained • 2h 1 Award Just a back yard farmer but my eyes were opened when I saw my three lovely big, fat , friendly chickens catch a rat in their run. They went full velociraptor, tossing it into the air then ripped it to pieces and played with the bits for a while before eating the evidence... Reply 1 67 ...

Text - BlueSkiesAboveMe • 4h I had a horse that could untie knots in rope. When I fed him, he untied my shoes. He untied the rope to "escape" (he liked the grass in the neighbor's front yard) all the time so we put a lock on the gate. Reply 114

Text - leighaorie • 2h My horse somehow got the electric tape fence wrapped around his horse shoe every 30 seconds it would shock him and he couldn't break free. We got him out pretty fast but 4 years later I still scratch my head and wonder exactly how that happened Reply 26 ...

Text - Euchre • 3h My friends had a small herd of cattle out west, that they raised for their own home grown beef. On day they left a tracked bulldozer out in the pasture, and a calf managed to get its tail stuck in a slot between the side blade wing and the main blade of the plow. It was high enough up that its hind legs were off the ground, and the forelegs were just propping up the front of it. No idea how it got there. Before they could situate themselves to free it, it got free on its own -
