An Australian Bushland farmer decided one day that he would sell his
cattle as a cash protection against a predicted drought. He called a
cattle buyer who examined the bovines and set a price. Deciding it was
far too low, the farmer decided he might do better by offering them
for auction at the district fair. There, the cows broke loose and
trampled down a gate leading to a tent where the district band was
playing "Waltzing Matilda." They milled around the uniformed musicians
and fortunately hurt no one. The crowd from the cattle auction
followed the animals into the tent and cheered them on. When the
auction resumed later, the cattle had gained so much attention they
sold for twice as much as the original offer. This surely proves that
a herd in the band is worth two in the bush.
