Audrey, who runs a rescue organization,
www.potbellymanor.org, has a
really cool cow car (which we've featured before, but here is a new photo):
Cow Cruzin
Audrey had a cow named Bette for many years, who sadly passed away at just
over 12 years. Audrey had her from a baby and has buried Bette on her farm.
She's kept the cow car in her memory.
She also rescued a baby bull and trained him for parades, where he walks
in front of the cow car. His name is Sir Wickford and his trainer is
Laura.

A couple of pictures Clive sent of the Stock Judging Event with the

Quick Cow facts:
Do cows have horns? Yes, female bovines almost always have horns. While
some cows are naturally polled (which means horn-free), the majority have their
horns removed when they are calves to make them safer to handle. So, YES,
cows can indeed have horns!
Oreo cookie cows? Yes, there are "belted" bovines out there!
More cow facts!
- The White Park is an all white cow with black points -- black ears, nose, hoofs, rims of the eyes, and teats, but not the tail switch.
- The Danish Red is, as could be expected, red. The bull is a darker color than the cow.
- Camembert cheese originated in the late 1600s in Normandy, France.
- Ungulate is a term for any hoofed mammal. Cows are considered even-toed ungulates. (Pigs, camels, and deer are also even-toed ungulates.)
- The Dutch first brought Holsteins into New York; at that time the cows were simply called Dutch cattle.
- Milking Shorthorns are usually red on their backs, sides, and faces, with white stomachs, but they can be all red, all white, or roan.
- There are an estimated 920 cow breeds in the world!
- A cow's heart beats between 60 and 70 beats per minute.
