Well, today I went out for about 2.5 hours on a bike. I hadn't been out since Thursday and it was just a great afternoon to be alive. I left and did a modifided version of my standard ride from the house, climb up and over the hills to Todd, NC and then do it backwards. Along this ride, I see a few different herds of cows.
Well, along with these herds, I saw more than enough cows (both behind fences and roaming free- this was a shock, seeing such a large animal roaming free) this weekend. After seeing so many cows and calves this weekend, I realized that cows tell you the season!
Now, I know that spring is the time for calves to be born, thats not what I am talking about. What I am talking about is you can look at the cows, their physical appearance and know that spring is come.
As spring arrives, the cows are more frisky, they will climb into their hay, chase after each other and then nap in the sun. But they also tend to stare you down as you ride past, ofter uttering among themselves "you may be able to ride faster, but I'll knock you over" and "small people may be fast, but I don't give a Sh*t, I'll still knock you over". Add with that, their winter diet has them in great fighting shape and you have the makings of disaster.
But they are all talk and no action, preferring to just eat their lives away; eat, poop, eat, eye passing cars, poop...... it just never stops.
But really, next time you drive/ride/walk/ crawl/dance or any other mode of transporation past a cow, look it in the eye. See the vast amounts of badass-ness that the cow throws off and be thankful that it is (hopefully) behind a fence.
Well, the cows ARE responsible for the increase in greenhouse gases. I believe it is their intention to take over the earth!
ReplyDeleteWho knows, maybe if the cows were in charge, we might be better off. That "eat, poop, eat" thing doesn't sound half-bad!
