In old cow byres here in Scotland I've seen cow operated taps for drinking water in the stalls. Above a cow-mouth-sized drinking dish there is a large metal flap which the cow has to press to get the water to flow into the bowl. How they learnt I don't know ...

Reading Chocky (John Wyndham) I remember Chocky asking Matthew why, if cows can work out when to gather together to be milked, they can't learn how to open the gate. Even at ten I was able to answer "because it has no benefit to them".
I am still trying to train Diz to understand that head butting at night does not equal food. And despite how much he dislikes the sound of the alarm it really does mean 7 minutes of snuggle and then food.

I don't blame you.
But you want to hear something gross? My mom grew up in dairy farm country, and she would lick the salt licks left out for the cows. She also would say that she would deliberately step in warm cow patties while barefoot because it felt good, but I don't know if that's true. I believe the salt lick thing, but not the cow poop one. |

I think animals would prefer cooler water in the summer simply because it's so dang hot outside. (And, by extension, rather warmer water in the winter.) But I live in a state where the animals sometimes die of heatstroke unless the ranchers go out there and hose them down repeatedly. Maybe in more northern climates the temperature doesn't matter so much. |

Ok. Here's what I'm getting from this discussion:
Ibram has pondered the sensuality of cattle. Oh, and Sundae? The badgers don't give a shit.

I had a doublesided all hot pink 500 piece puzzle. Looks like the white album one is easier. At least it has a picture on the box. The pink one came in a glass jar.
Good thing that one is a "collector's edition," since that means that you can't break the plastic on it or the value goes down.
