Did you know?

Cows have an acute sense of smell. They can predict the approach of a
storm hours before it arrives and can detect odours from a distance of
six miles away.

I wonder if we could get a miniature cow to predict the weather and do
away with the need to keep mowing the lawn.

grizzly bears can smell a dead carcass up to ,
10 miles away even if its buried under 3 feet of snow ,
and all animals can tell its going to rain before it rains

I didn't know that. I'd have guessed that all the ruminating burps
would have interfered with their sense of smell.

Natural lawn mowers are great if you don't mind the by-products.

In message <...@4ax.comTroglodyte <...@gmail.comI'm surprised - I was expecting that you'd have some anecdotes of
superior bovine senses. I have you associated with cows. ;)

We have two rabbits, whose droppings aren't any bother, but their
chomping don't seem to have any effect on the lawn at all!

and still, all they do is stand there chewing grass. cows are amazing. my
dad used to tell a story about when he was a kid in school. it was a village
school near the southern border of hungary. the teacher asked what everybody
wanted to be when they grew up. a little girl said, "i want to be a cow."
"why?" the teacher asked. "because all they have to do is stand there
chewing grass." she may also have mentioned their peaceful brown eyes.
there's probably nothing more peaceful than a cow standing in a field,
chewing grass. i once wrote a poem about it. it's called "life of a cow,"
and it begins

a cow stands in a field,
chewing grass.

i forget the rest.

Some cows are more amazing than others. About my Jersey cow Molly
Ringworm, we used to say, "bless her pointy little head". That cow
had no fear. She'd use that pointy poll to push cows twice her size
away from the feed bunk so she could get in to eat.

Cows do have beautiful eyes. I used to wander through cow pastures
(actually, it was mainly heifer pastures and bullock pastures) when I
were but a lad, and their eyes were the second thing I noticed about
them. The first was the number of horseflies on the pats.

Did it have 'ass' in it?

last night, I saw some of the movie "Twister"
silly, and a cow flies through the air.

I'm doing bovine.
I mooo-ved
I'm milking this reply
I am udderly ridiculous.

all I know about cows really is this---they have 4 stomachs. The
stomachs are made to digest grass. instead, we shove corn down their
gullet. often, a stick must be shoved down the cows throat to
alleviate certain blockages.
a cow would no more eat corn than I would eat that crap m friend
serves.

there is a movie called, "Food, Inc."

but I knew what I said a long time before.
and growth hormones make children develop parts long before they
should develop parts.

walmart has taken HGH out of it's milk.

I gotta million of 'em
