cows

(Not sympathetic enough to not end up on my plate.)

Also they do not sleep properly.

but i agree with anthony, cows are good...

preferrably ground up and on a bun.

Has anyone ever branded cattle?

The worst sound ever is a cow giving birth. The worst sight, maybe. It is incredible vaginas can stretch so!

Why bother predicting silly trends. I can't change anything is how I feel right now. I am surrounded by business.

oh, and cow tipping.

I don't have an opinion one way or another about cows. They're kinda stupid and ugly animals, and they're flatulent (cow farts are doing in the ozone layer!) But meat is tasty and I like leather jackets.

As the worst drought in half a century has ravaged this year's U.S. corn crop and driven corn prices sky high, the market for alternative feed rations for beef and dairy cows has also skyrocketed. Brokers are gathering up discarded food products and putting them out for the highest bid to feed lot operators and dairy producers, who are scrambling to keep their animals fed.

In the mix are cookies, gummy worms, marshmallows, fruit loops, orange peels, even dried cranberries. Cattlemen are feeding virtually anything they can get their hands on that will replace the starchy sugar content traditionally delivered to the animals through corn.

question: feeding cows gummy worms is a kind of cannibalism, innit

You want to feel leather when you hold your phone so some fucking chill ass cow just eating grass has to die ? Fuck that

not in India

don't eat cows

temple grandin was a good movie

Who knows what that means but if you're insulting people on the spectrum, fuck you

it means that I thought temple grandin was a decent film. perhaps more pertinently, temple grandin cares a great deal about cows and has a perspective on the operations of abattoirs that I can get behind.

fuck you too buddy, we're all in this together.

Every year for a few months in late summer/early fall, we have cows in the field behind our building. There are usually about 20 but this year there are 40. Sometimes they come grazing right up to the fence that separates their field from the little patch of grass behind my apartment (too small to count as a "yard" really). When I open my office window it makes a loud bang and sometimes a cow will look up and stare at me for a minute.

There are also deer that show up in the field, sometimes in the morning but more often in the evening. The cows and the deer usually stay pretty far apart from each other, but last night one of the bull calves decided to chase the deer around, which was hilarious.

More hilarity this morning - someone in the neighborhood has an Australian cattle dog, and it got into the field and was attempting to round up the cows. Some of the calves thought it was a game and were running around a little bit, but the adult cows weren't having any of it. One big bull, standing by himself in a corner of the field, fully backed the dog down, and he wandered away somewhat disconsolate, finally leaping back over the fence (note: I didn't know those dogs could jump that high).
