But It Was Really Sweet

Sep
12

I was driving around in the country this weekend with a friend and I saw this white cow. I thought it was so pretty! Totally had to stop and take a picture. It came right up to the fence, which was somewhat flimsy-looking, and I got several shots close up then I thought, wow, I’m just going to pet it, it’s so cute. That’s when I noticed. I said to my friend, “Well look, it has horns–”

My friend said, “That’s because it’s a bull.”

OH.

    ROTFL!!!

    I remember our neighbour, growing up, would always raise a bull in the spring/summer and slaughter it in the fall, out in the field adjacent to our house. I never could watch–too gruesome. But I guess that makes me a hypocrite, since I eat meat!

    I wonder if “your” bull is for breeding or for food. Good photo!

    Have a great day, everyone.

    Umm, this is a joke, right? ‘Cause you know that’s not the right end to check to see if it’s a bull. Plus, cows have horns too.

    Hey, cows have horns too. He looks like a Char-Brea. Charlette (sp?) are even lighter colored. :cowsleep:

    As long as you wern’t wearing glasses.!!! My father-in-law had a bull a few years ago that if you came in the field with any kind of glasses on he would go nuts and charge at you. We think his previous owner might have hit him and wore glasses. We also had another bull one year that if you were a woman near that time, he would become attracted to you. NOT A PRETTY SITE!!! :eek: Hope everyone has a great day today.

    He’s a very pretty bull, though. But I agree with Alice. I’m pretty sure cows can have horns, too.

    Yes, I know cows can have horns, too, but the presence of horns gives one pause once one notices them, LOL. And yes, upon inspection of his other end, it was a bull.

    LOL, Friend is teasing you. Horns do not make a bull. And what does make them bulls is a delicacy when fried in corn meal and served up with grits.

    She looks like someone’s sweet old milk cow to me.

The Slanted Little House

"It was a cold wintry day when I brought my children to live in rural West Virginia. The farmhouse was one hundred years old, there was already snow on the ground, and the heat was sparse-—as was the insulation. The floors weren’t even, either. My then-twelve-year-old son walked in the door and said, “You’ve brought us to this slanted little house to die." Keep reading our story....
