Would that there were more people in the world who felt this way. Along with numerous cats and 5 dogs, I have 8 "rescue" cows. They are Pasture Ornaments. That's it. And they are expensive to feed, especially this year, hay prices are sky high. I took them thinking I could throw a bale of hay to them once in a while, a little grain, but they'd "Live Off The Land". Humph. Wrong!! It took them two months to decimate the fields of kudzu, and there they were standing at the fence looking at me with those big 'ole hungry eyes.....

Nary a rib to be found on these boys.....
