First there was one and now there are two. The cow Plattsmouth townspeople have dubbed the "ninja" cow disappeared over the weekend. She showed up this morning, but piled new problems on the town's already beefed up plate. "I saw these two little ears poke up alongside her," said Tom Malcolm, a rancher who has been helping catch the cow. "It's just uh oh, now we've got a new problem in town." That's right, the ninja cow is a new mom. The town wasn't worried about the cow being a danger before, but that's changing. "A black beef is the best momma there is out there," said Bob Wagner, a butcher in town. "So don't mess with the calf, she will really overhaul you if you mess with her calf." The new addition could also mean a harder time catching the mom. Malcolm points out that shooting the cow is now out of the question since that would leave the calf without a mom. As of late Monday afternoon, animal control officers had managed to coral the baby and were just hoping the mom would follow. KPTM
I've seen cows like that, but my Dad didn't call them "ninja".
