www.potbellymanor.org, has a
really cool cow car (which we've featured before, but here is a new photo):

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!
- Buttermilk was originally the fluid left over after churning cream to make butter. It used to be consumed most often as a drink, but today it is usually condensed and dried for use in the baking and frozen desserts industries.
- The Jersey has the richest milk with the highest percentage of butterfat and protein.
- Brahman cattle come in different colors, including black, brown, white, grey, red, and spotted, although solid grey and red are most common.
- The Holstein produces the most milk of all breeds.
- The Simmental was officially establish in the Swiss Canton of Berne in the 1800s (the first herdbook), but there is evidence that this type of cattle had been in existence for hundreds of years before that.
- The smallest breed of cow is the Dexter.
- The ancestors of the Texas Longhorn were the cattle brought to America in the 1600s.
- Brahman cows stand about 4 feet high at the withers (not including the hump), and weigh an average of 1200-1300 pounds.
