That's precisely right! The average bull weighs 2,000 pounds. And they are among the stupidest animals I've ever seen. Great combo, eh?

Yes they are not the smartest at all! Mine runs into the fence around his cage all the time! Did you learn about cows because you are a vet helper?

Exactly! We happen to have two studs, but neither are what I would call stud quality, so both are scheduled for brain surgery, lol.

WHAT?? brain surgery for what? just because they aren't stud quality, you want them to be Smart quality LOL

Really, cows are the best! It is sooo exciting when a new calf is born and they hop around all happy. I also think it is fun to milk a cow by hand! You can get pretty good at it and almost beat the machine!

I had a goat that I had to milk but doesn't taste as good.

My great-aunts had a dairy farm, one of my favorite memories is getting to hold a newborn calf and having it suckle my thumb. It felt so weird, there's no way to describe it!

Also Lacry, it's really not as bad as you make it sound. A cow's...erm...yeeeah is rather large. I've never seen a cow so much as flinch during the process. They literally don't even register it as anything, I don't even know if they can feel it!

HUm OK, so I wonder if they every got sexually excited? LOL But to constantly have to be pregnant, YEK..

I mean this in a nice way... How many stallions and mares do you own?

Nah, I just told you I used to help on my great aunts' farm. That's where I learned about chickens, too! We had a few busted gates, as well...all because of that darn bull. There was also the occasional cow getting her head stuck between the fence rungs, heck if I know why. Like I said, dumb animals! They don't keep cows anymore, sadly. They're too old to handle such large creatures. They still have chickens, though. Ooo, that reminds me I should ask if they've begun laying yet!

Race horses, oh wow! Casport, didn't you mention you have a few thoroughbreds of your own? I only have experience with curlies. Now THAT is one interesting breed of horse! My friend had a clydesdale that had the curly gene as a totally random mutation. His name was Moe. Because they have a corny sense of humor.

It is one of the best feeling to have a new born calf suck on your thumb! I love it soo much. I always train my calves to follow me when I have my hand in their mouth so you will see me walking around the farm with my hand in a calves mouth... lol.

I dont think the cow feels the semen tube being inserted but I have had some cows show "uncomfort" when you insert your hand in their rectum....

SUCK on your Thumb or your entire HAND?? LOL, I have see videos of baby cows sucking and they are WORST then my mastiff with all that DROOLING...


WHY IN THE HECK DO YOU PUT YOUR HAND IN THEIR BUTT. omg, this is getting worst and worst.

That sounds like a boom ready to go off. LOL OMG, I didn't think they weighed that MUCH.
