Yarding Up The Cattle

Two hundred cattle we loaded on a truck,
One huge bullock had a mighty big buck.
One ugly cow delivered a pretty ugly calf,
And I just sat there ready to barf.
"Which cow will be the first to calve!" Mum
asked "let's have a bet!"
And of course, Dad guessed the one that was wet!
One big steer had a kick that made all the panels rattle,
But I just sat there yellin' at the cattle.
