A blog about a cow

This blog is about a cow (see picture above).

The cow is a popular animal in England. They can be most frequently spotted grazing in fields, this being the location where I encountered and photographed this particular cow.

Cattle can also be spotted crossing roads, as the farmer takes them to get milked, as cows produce a lot of milk, and we English like to drink milk, either on its own or to complement another beverage, such as tea or coffee. Milk can also be used in food recipes, such as when making Yorkshire Puddings.

You may also see a cow in a slaughterhouse. Cow meat (beef) is very tasty, best accompanied by Yorkshire Puddings, a plethora of roasted vegetables, and a lot of gravy (made from the juices from the meat).

Below is a selection of photos of a cow in Lancashire. Judging by the absence of an udder, and the presence of a lump suggesting male genitalia, this ‘cow’ is actually a bull.

I said hello to it, and then fed it some grass. The grass in the field I was in seemed to be better than the grass in the cow’s field because it enthusiastically accepted each offering of grass.
