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

Audlem, Cheshire, UK -- famous for its cheese.)

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!
- Cows can hear lower and higher frequencies better than humans.
- A cow stands up and lies down about 14 times a day.
- Red Sindhi cattle are usually a deep red, but can range in color from light red or brown through to dark red or dark brown. They have a hump on their shoulder area.
- The Brahman breed was developed from Bos indicus cattle from India. Four types of Bos indicus were used: the Gir, Guzerat, Nellore, and Krankrej.
- The Watusi has the biggest horns -- the horns' spread can reach up to 8 feet across, and the diameter of the horns at the base can be as large as 8 inches.
- The ancestors of the Texas Longhorn were the cattle brought to America in the 1600s.
- The Dexter started to become known in the 1700s when small farmers found the Dexter very practical for use on small plots of land. Later, the novelty of the cute, small bovines, made them popular on English estates.
- The Tarentaise originated in France, a descendant of native cattle found around the Isere River in eastern France.
