I have seen scars like that on old unmarked bulls from a station in the territory that is only 2 paddocks.
trying to drive these cattle on horseback proved futile as they would just stand and shake, then charge you.
and they had horns.
we ended up sending the dogs around the other side of them, and they chased the dogs up into the yards at the now defunct Adelaide abattoirs.
the point is bovines do not cut or scar easily, and must sustain something pretty serious to cause this.
yet again you share an interesting observance ben.

Cheers! My guess is he lost his footing in a fight and got caned. I’ve seen a lot of barbed wire scratches on buffalo and they’re similar to how our legs get scratched by the grass.

when you think about it, his last few days were not an all out success.

I'm unfortunately on a diet. Presently in VA hospital as Agent Orange finally caught up with me. Cancer and I no longer can speak. If all goes well I'll be out of here and back home in Thailand by end of July. Tough road but I'm a tough old guy. I'll make it that hunt.

Business is the only way to fly. I'm headed to SA August 25. I'm hoping that business isn't an arm and a leg. If you don't mind, what airline and the cost for your trip. Mine will be convoluted. I'll be flying into the states to pick up my 416 Rigby as Thailand doesn't allow firearms (pay no attention to the daily shootings and killings) so I'll have 2 very long trips.
