I've herded as many as 1,400 range cattle at a time along the a rocky trail to our present homestead and I've also taken a few courses in animal husbandry, mammalogy and comparative anatomy. But for practical down-to-earth savvy of what hangs where in the old girl and how she operates, I'd like to recommend a clanged ole plastic model the kids and I put together few winters ago. It's called The Visible Cow and is made Renwall Products, Inc. The hide, organs and bones can disassembled and a concise manual on anatomy and physiology is included. Good winter sport.
AND FINALLY . . .
Your relationship with your milk cow will prove a unique experience. Her mere presence demands your attention twice daily most of the year, in sickness or in health, regardless weather or moods (yours or hers). No other livestock or pet—even member of your family—will rate this level of schedule homage.
If you're sensitive enough to get along with a family cow the first place, you'll come to know her intimately. You'll rely upon her being in a certain place at a certain time and you'll react in a predictable manner. You'll also be infinitely exasperated when (and that's predictable too) she occasionally crosses you up. On the latter occasions, please try to remember that the ornery, * % ! # old renegade is really lovable Bossy 99% the time.
