Well Donald,
I just had to reply to your comments about the cussed jersey cow:)...You
must have had the original old cussed model by the sounds of your
dealings/descriptions.. poor you.
I can assure you that the modern variety is calm, laid back,ours often lay
there waiting to be hand fed, loves, in fact demand to be patted, woe betide
the person who doesnt do so as a butt in the thigh muscle is sure to
follow,... are extremely beautiful, well we think so... and give litres of
that gorgeous yellow creamy milk....In fact their milk is so creamy it is
banned from our table as it makes your cup of tea too rich..
Your description of their glorious milk/cream/butter by- products, you fogot
their milk makes the most fantastic icecream...calorie loaded.. has had me
thinking I am going to have to find a rhizome of Abbey Road, so I can
compare it to our Golden Girls....It sounds as lovely as our cows..
