Guest cows!

Clive is a regular contributor to this site and has sent a number of pictures of cows at Village Farm, Northwich (near Liverpool):

Hello there

I'm one of the cows at Village Farm

And I've got some friends

We think we want to say "Hi", too

I'm a little shy

And a little coy

And a very cute moo

We're still thinking about saying "Hi"

But...

Maybe I feel a little safer over here...

Well, I'm ready to say "Hi"

Don't look now, but we've attracted a curious crowd

...I'm feeling a bit braver (and aren't I sweet?)

We're definitely curious

I might want a scritch between the ears but I may stay just out of reach

Hmm, I don't think I've seen you around here before

Well, it's been nice seeing you, but it's time for grazing

Grazing

Clive shares more photos and this information. "Ashton's Flashes are old salt workings, which have collapsed and filled with water. These are called Flashes. The two Flashes here in Northwich have been landscaped and turned into a country park/nature reserve. Sheep and cattle are allowed to graze on this land."

He also visited Brook Farm in Nantwich.

Madoncows enjoying the cows

"Mad on Cows" and friend wrestling with a calf at Reaseheath University Farm, Nantwich, Cheshire, UK, and a couple of calves enjoying the hay:

This calf doesn't want to have her temperature taken

Mmmmm, hay, yummy

See all our Guest Cows!
(All guest cows that have appeared on the homepage are on one of the guest cows pages, always available for you to enjoy.)

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!

• A 1,000 pound cow makes about 10 tons of manure a year, on average.
• A cow spends an average of 6 hours eating and 8 hours chewing cud.
• The Tarentaise originated in France, a descendant of native cattle found around the Isere River in eastern France.
• The Jersey has the richest milk with the highest percentage of butterfat and protein.
• Milking Shorthorns are usually red on their backs, sides, and faces, with white stomachs, but they can be all red, all white, or roan.
• The South Devon are usually a light brownish-red. The skin has a light red pigment. The muzzle is wide and buff colored.
• The Chianina cow originated from the same region as Chianti wine -- in Tuscany, Italy. (The "ch" in Chianina is pronounced like a "k".)
• Old cows in India have their own nursing home.
