Why I Like Cows (II) ....

Once again the news has degenerated to the point that I am over all of the celebrity gossip, horrible TV Shows and latest released novels and songs, that I have again decided that it all would be better if it were about cows.....

Here's a few examples from the week that was and why it would be so much better if it were about cows......

1. The Shire (cue groan....)
Channel 10's hit (?) TV series the shire premiered this week and has to put it lightly left some viewers with a gripe or two about the show.
Personally I'm not the hugest fan of the show (personally I won't watch it when there is better content on TV). But this lead me to thinking, how much better would this show be if it was about cows:
    1. Cow's don't get botox or breast enhancements.
    2. Last time I checked cow's didn't go through massive break ups.
    3. The only pushy cows I know are jersey cows.

So looking at it half the storyline would be cut, and then all you'd have to do is replace the "Snooki" character with a Jersey cow named Mabel?
I could just imagine the opening titles:
"Welcome to the Shire - This week we see a power play between Mavis and Mabel for the head of the herd, who will win? Who will lose, lets look and see...."



* Sorry to anybody out there who owns Jersey Cattle, they are for the most part lovely, but there are some pretty pushy ones out there.

2. 50 Shades of Grey (sorry I just don't get what the big deal is...)
Lately all I seem to be hearing about is the book "50 Shades of Grey" and that it has gained itself somewhat of a large following and is being touted to be the next box office blockbuster.....
The only 50 Shades of Grey I've seen or ever had to worry about are Brahmans & Murray Greys:




If this book was about cows (or bulls) than the most riveting read would be their EBV values and other trait characteristics.

  2. Well said ... and of course I love your Brahman image!
    I know what you mean about Jerseys, though I am fortunate enough to be in possession of a particularly sweet old house cow who has a beautiful personality.

    1. Cheers, Thanks Fiona.
      Unfortunately I can't take credit for the Brahman image. That one is from the Brahman Australia Website.
      Yes we have a pair of old Jersey cross house cows at home here too for fostering if we need to, they are delightful but as you said there are some shockers out there, we have a very temperamental one at the dairy at Uni who insists in being in the same spot in the cue for milking every time, and gets a bit upset when she is not there.
