My miniature cows...

[ponygirl72]

... let me show you them.

I have cows. Miniature Dexter cows. They are pregnant. One of them is *very* pregnant; like, "please don't have this calf in the trailer on the way home" kind of pregnant.

Here they are, playing "Let's get as far away as possible from the two legged predators who want to EAT OUR BABIEZ!!" in their new pasture:







I must say, for smelly animals that poop a lot and pick their noses with their own tongues, they're rather cute. There's just something about taking a common animal and breeding it to be unexpectedly small that seems to have that effect.

That, and the fact that a side of beef will actually FIT IN THE FREEZER, of course.

You can't blame them - you do want to eat their babies! :D

Y'know... I've never seen a cow that was practically square before!

A fair point. ;-)

Heh... funny you should say this. Apparently, the current fad is to create new "breeds" of designer miniature cattle (to be marketed to city n00bs who've just bought 10 acres in the country in order to "get back to the land") by crossing two established breeds to make a new coat color/pattern or some other desirable characteristic.

One of these designer breeds is called-- I shit you not-- the Square Meater. I got a good laugh out of that one; someone should have been a comedian.

There's a joker in every pack. I used to work at NIH and one of the databases was called "Grateful Med."
