Mulberry High Cow Hit By Car

THE LEDGER

MULBERRY A cow from the Mulberry High School agriculture program had a bruise Friday morning after it was hit by a car about 11 p.m. Thursday on State Road 60.

The cow is one of 23 head of cattle students in the school’s agriculture department maintain. The herd got out of the school’s 24-acre pasture through an unlocked gate, Kevin Wells, an agriculture teacher at the school said. The pasture is separated from S.R. 60 by other property, but the cattle managed to find their way to the highway, where one was hit.

Police were called and were able to herd the cattle back into the pasture.

The cow suffered a bruise but the most damage was to the vehicle, Wells said. “He is a nice gentlemen. He was more concerned with the cow than his car,” Wells said.

Wells said the cow was one of 10 designated to be trucked to a larger pasture owned by the School Board in Homeland. But now the cow will remain at the school for observation.

Wells was something of a victim himself, even though he was not there when the incident occurred. While being herded back to the pasture, the cows trampled through a vegetable garden he had growing.

Grey Panthers Car Plate

Sue's kids gave her a Grey Panthers car tag for her birthday recently. This is Sue and her Grandaughter. The picture leaves a bit to be desired as it is a scan of a scan of the picture that was taken on the occasion. But anyway, you get the intent. Sue says these tags are available at Tags Plus at 6635 South Florida Avenue in Lakeland. Their phone number is 863 644-1114 and Mike and Alana Cox run it. Maybe we ought to get some "Grey Panthers North" tags made? Don't be surprised if one of these is not the door prize at our April, 2009 get together at Vogel State Park in North Georgia.

Fun in North Georgia - April, 2008

These pictures were sent to me by Sue Mock Tyre recently. They were taken after the Grey Panther North get together at Vogel State Park the end of April, 2008. Some were taken at Reba's mountain home just north of Blue Ridge, GA. Others were on the Toccoa River that flows through Blue Ridge. See how beautiful it was? We hope to see you all there in April, 2009. You'll love it and we'll love to see you. (Thanks, Sue)
