Meat my friends! I mean........ Beef my friends... Oh lord! 

Lets start again before all the Vegans will come and attack me and turn this snake into shoes!
Gosh..... I might have to start again... Hard work this!

Hi, meet my friends! 

I have this thing called love for cows. In my eyes they are just amazing! When I see them standing in the grassy fields I always want to stop and have a little chat! Most of the time they will come to you and attack you with their long tongue! Affection.... Cow affection! 

I am udderly fascinated by these amazing creatures! They are big, strong and yet so friendly! One day I really want to cuddle with one! 


Milking machines were invented in 1894. Before that, it would take one person one hour to milk 6 cows by hand. Today, the use of a milking machine allows one person to milk about 100 cows in one hour. 

Did you know that all ‘cows’ are female? Only males are called bulls. Before having a calf, a cow is called a heifer. In order for a cow to produce milk, they must first have a calf. 

With all of the eating and drinking that a cow does in one day, they will urinate about 30 gallons and produce about 60 pounds of manure. So in one year, a cow will produce about 20,100 pounds of manure – that’s 10 TONS! 

Cows can hear lower and higher frequencies better than humans.


I took these pictures when on a trip in the  Meije polder, a great spot in the green heart of the Netherlands!

Cows in India are worshipped..... They call them gaumata.. Cow milk is the healthiest form of milk.. It is good for kids as it has large amount of calcium... Good for bone development and improving immunity... Although worshipped but these days they are being ill treated too.... Some people even kill them for self interest!!! Lets stop killing them and keep the tradition of worshipping going on.

Thank you for your nice reply! I worship all of nature! Animals are a wonderful creation and they bring so much to us humans! We just need to learn and see that!

oh no dont beef your friends!
60 pounds of poop? no wonder the meadows stink like cow dung sometime and linger far !

They're mootiful!

logyx

I've got cattle next door. They're cool!

You've mootivated me to take more pictures...

Cows are fantastic creatures. When i was a kid i would go fishing to the same spot and they would come and stand next to me, you could look into their eyes. i used talk to them and each time i went more came. Theyre awesome.

They really are amazing. Such friendly creatures.
I can watch them for hours on end and all I will feel is happiness.

Cool photos, I like how they stare into the camera, they really like you to take a picture of them. Cows are nice, but kind of good at stalking people lol. We had a bunch of cows following us during a hiking trip where the trail was inside a meadow. A bit scary, but on a distance they are nice to look at:-)

Maybe they wanted to eat you guys!!! :D
I love cows, I really do. We have a park here ( posbank) In a place called Arnhem and you can walk their for hours on end between cows and nature. It's amazing but when they start to follow you it would kinda scare me as well! I mean, they might want to jump at you for some cuddle action....

Never know! But the scary thing is that they are large animals and when 20 of them follow you it gets a bit sweaty... In all other cases I like cows, they are wonderful and also harmless and gives us milk:)

I would sweat my skin of and run for my life! I am addicted to milk. No joke! It's like a drug to me. Milk is the best thing ever, which makes cows udderly amazing in my eyes! I would love to live on a farm and have a few of them.
