[QUOTE="JRC, post: 837688, member: 16719"] Halfy, your description of the cows there in the UK reminds me of the cows I would encounter when I was stationed in Germany. The cattle were more like pets than "beasts of burden". I would watch the cattleman/woman simply walk these cows from pasture to pasture with nothing more than a long stick and I never once saw them have to use it. Once while in the Normandy region of France I watched a little whisp of a woman drive three large and I mean LARGE milk cows across the street like they were her children. I think the Europeans have a bit of a different relationship with their animals than we do here. One reason they may be bawling so much is they have just been weaned from their calves or they are lonesome, cattle are social animals, even with humans. Thanks for taking me back to my time in Europe it was wonderful. And welcome to the board, the folks here are top notch. [/QUOTE]
