Cow Cuddling
On these Diary of Worm posts you have heard me sing the praises of cows, for milk, medicine, and most importantly for cow dung. Today at the Shawano County Fair, where my grandchildren and their friends were showing cows, I discovered a new use for the cow.
My grandsons and their 4-H friends had gotten up early this morning to be at the County fair at 5am to care for their cows and do barn duty from 6am-8am. The cows they were showing were from the dairy farm across the road from my son’s house. This diary farm family has three young boys my grandchildren’s age who were also showing cows and had gotten up early this morning.
By the time my wife and I got there the children had shown their cows once or twice and were waiting for some other cow competitions in the afternoon.
Having been awake since 4am they were all very tired. One of the boys from the dairy farm decided to do something about it and cuddled up to a cow to take a brief rest.
Looking at this picture it occurred to me, besides milk, medicine and dung, this is another good use of a cow, cow cuddling.
