Just got back from a very busy and productive weekend down in Vincennes. I could share stories about our meeting with Emily's new school principal, her first baseball practice, the boys' tractor rides and adventures on the farm or finally seeing our new home, but I find myself wanting to talk about my mooing friends who I spent so much time with this weekend. I received quite the education on cows, heifers, steers and bulls. Did you know that a cow is a female who has had a baby and a heifer is a female prior to being pregnant? Did you know that a steer is a castrated male and a bull has all his parts intact and rules the field? Yeah, I didn't. Important terminology people when referring to the mooing animal. Thankfully, I have a wonderful brother-in-law who is patient with my MILLION questions and spent the weekend educating me on his cattle.
Troy's cows, kinda beautiful in a cow kinda way
Big take away - Cows and heifers pee out of their butts. Yes, it sounds harsh, but that is where their parts are located (made sense to everyone down there but me). Strangest thing I have ever seen and I am sure that is only the beginning. Man, this city girl has so so much to learn.
Thank you for enlightening me, a fellow city girl with farm ties, Leigh! Fun did you know facts! :)
