It is my fondest wish that they screw up someday and blunder into the Holstein bull exhibit.

Nastiest damn cattle on earth.

I’d love to see them “free” one of those big boys.

[or, alternatively, mosey out here to hillbilly heaven and pull this crap at one of our many ag fairs]

:)

I had to laugh last month when, on a bike ride, I led him up a back road to the first night of the Franklin county fair.

We parked the Harleys and wandered around the livestock tents.

We had to go through the Holstein tent to get my faves, the Jerseys and Himself remarked as we passed the spotted ladies “Wow. They’re huge. They look a lot smaller in a field.”

A lot of people don’t realize just how big a dairy cow is.

You know....I SHOULD have mentioned that also just two blocks down the street from where they did this resides the Iowa State Fair “Super Bull.”

This year’s winner is a Charolais, weighing in at 3,032 lbs. His name is Squirt...LOL! Wonder why they didn’t decide to really “make a statement” by painting old Squirt?

I’m still laughing about them “freeing” the Dairy cows. Seriously...they would just be completely befuddled. I am partial to the Jerseys, too. Grew up on a farm, but we had sheep and hogs...Dad had a nearly irrational hatred of all things bovine.

I did, however, have my own little flock of ducks; and I was constantly trying to sneak the bottle lambs into the house.

I’ve heard about how mean the Holstein bulls are but have no experience w/them. Is is testosterone or are the females nasty, too? (More stuff to websearch this winter.)
