Today I saw cows swimming together in harmony for the first time. Thirty two long years have passed. I am from the cooler climate of New England where cows are content to stand in fields. I have never seen a cow at the ocean or at the lake taking a dip. Maybe the slow southern mentality has made for some really laidback cows that actually enjoy the finer things in life. They don't need to eat feverishly all summer to make it thru the toils of winter. Instead they relax in the pool and get thier "milk on" in a much more relaxed manner. No city cows here. Could they be having "Teet Hydrotherapy". After long hours of milking, they soak thier milkbags in the refreshing waters of a roadside pasture spa. Did I catch them doing something forbidden..... they all are looking at me in a concerned manner. After alot of speculation I have no real answers.A small note to all Facebook Farmers: Are your farms Organic? Do you practice Fair Trade? Do you respect the rights of your cheap farm labor? We are watching you. Seriously.
A special note to drunken beaners on bikes at night in the middle of 50 mph traffic...... No Bueno Mu Chacho...... No Bueno. The only things that saved you from being refried was a good set of antilock brakes, Hayleys squeal of fear, and my stellar beaner missing skills.
Cows in the northern regions have stuck their hooves in the water there and found as I did. It's COLD year round. If the cows in the south didn't occassionaly go for a dip, there would be puddles of cottage cheese on farms far and wide. Melted cows would not be a pretty sight. Aren't you glad you came south to expand your knowledge of cow habits and quirks.
