[QUOTE="HOSS, post: 223774, member: 1863"] Greetings from Ningbo, China. It is 9:20 at night here and ya'll are just getting ready for church. Good news is I did get to see some cows today. Bad news is that my camera battery was dead. We had a flat tire from a sharp rock on a back road. While the driver was changing the tire I wandered down the road for a couple hundred yards and saw a small herd of cattle (about 6 animals) that looked heavily brammer or some other india / africa breed. Not large cattle but with the classic brammer hump and loose brisket skin. Dark red color with white around the nose like a jersey. They are polled. They use them as draft animals to pull plows in the rice paddies. They loop a strap over the hump and attach that to the plow. Interesting thing is that there were no fences and it looked like the cattle were grazing on the crops. I saw this in several places along that road. The same thing applied to the water buffalo that I saw. It appears to me that they would eat up the profits from growing the crops if they grazed on it. Any way I will be doing some more travelling in the next 3 days and I will try and get some pics. I'll check back in by the weekend. [/QUOTE]
