That there is Bessie, next to her is Flossie, then there's Daisy and Buttercup, Patty and Petunia...lets see, Flossie? Did I say Flossie? Ummm...Spots, Tess, Oreo, Franny and Lucy, and way in the back there is Mary and Sugar, Blanche and Burdine. Wave a hoof girls. Who am I forgetting? Oh well, you get the picture.

I love it! Invite any strays to your BBQ... just to be neighborly. Unless they are milk cows, then be sure to invite the one that gives chocolate milk.
We have a beautiful ranch across our highway, owned by the Perots. They have buffalo, longhorns (they look terribly dangerous) and now, ONE camel. Why? Perhaps they are thinking of putting on a nativity play this year. I don't know what I would do without that sight of wild things over yonder. It is breathtaking, and makes me feel a little more country than suburban.
I would LOVE to have some longhorns rambling about next door. They seem so stately. There are a couple of people nearby who raise Scottish Highland cows...they are the terribly shaggy ones with horns. I always want to pin their bangs up out of their eyes. They make tasty meat as it is very low in fat. Lots of long hair means less need for fat to keep warm. Are we really having a conversation about cows? Anyway, the girls next door are all dairy...how do you tell the chocolate ones?
Forgot to say...one of our neighbors, a couple farms away, has a llama that guards and defends her cattle. He's quite effective at it, too. His name is Dolly.
Oh, the Ross Perots? I so did not catch the name the first 3 times I read your comment. shhesh. Does he come and ride the camel? I bet he does! I miss that little monkey.
