Hello toadalove: I love cows. They are usually very sweet, and will sometimes give you a very wet kiss (or perhaps a swat with their tail). I so miss the old dairy farm in the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont, it'd so sad that so many smaller dairy farms were bought out and closed by bigger, more automated conglomerates, who just wanted to eliminate we smaller farmers because we were considered pests. Those farm years were the best of my life! I do still like Gurnseys a bit better than Holstiens, though.
