Cows

When you see cows, which most of you should each day as I do driving into the office, do you ever "wonder" about them....aside from the fact that they may be on your plate as your next hamburger?  On my way into work today I saw a pasture full of cows...as I said...I do everyday because I live in the country and cows are everywhere.  There was a group of about 10 baby cows (yes, I know they are called a calf, but I like baby cow) all together just hanging out.  I started to think "do they hang out cause that's what little ones do when they are all out together?".  There have been times where i'll see a group of these baby cows all laying down and a momma cow just kind of hanging around them while the other cows are standing around, chewing their cud.  Almost like they called for the baby cow sitter while they go stand somewhere else, because let's face it...cows don't do much more than just stand there. 

Don't take this "thinking" as me trying to convince you that cows think and therefore you should not eat them.  I like my burger as much as the next guy....or spaghetti with meat sauce.....meatballs......steak.....I digress.....but, you get my point.  I just think it's funny that there are people who think cows DO NOT think, so they say "moo" to them cause that is funny, right?  And the cow looks at you and you think the cow is NOT thinking at all and that is why it's just staring at you, when in reality there is a chance that cow is thinking what a total idiot you are moo'ing at it when you are obviously not a cow. 

These are just things that make me wonder at times......todays wonder was the little cow society I saw on my way to work.....
