Thanks to Atlas for this find.

The biggest laugh of my whole week. Thank you! And thanks Atlas.
I want photos of the people learning how to position the cows.
Rats! I was going to say that!
This is the kind of thing that happens when cows are not properly positioned.
Upon typing in ‘Elm Spring Farm’ to Google, it appears that these people take the photographs of their cows very seriously. I mean, just look at those pedigrees!
oh my YES. They are FINE photos.
Well, have you made your reservation yet?
I already have awesome cow-posing skills.
Driving through my surrounding cattle paddocks we award points for aesthetically pleasing stock arrangement.
Friesians are excellent, especially after rain. Black Angus less so being rather antisocial and prickly whingers.
Believe it or not we’re actually thinking of running photos of notable stock/landscape arrangements as a category in next year’s Woolibuddha Agricultural Show. It has gotta best the three mandarins on a plate that won gold this year. Not four times in a row – surely!

For the adult section of the competition. Handy huh?

Enjoyed the cartoon immensely. I’ve often found myself suspecting something along those lines. It’s all just too contrived. Too bucolic.
I like ’em!
In my memory of that Larson cartoon, the cows were holding martinis. I don’t know if there really was a version like that or I just made it up. Either way, I think it’s even funnier.
Ooops… that didn’t do well at all.

Here’s a late entrant for the cow arrangement competition… a Jackson Pollock adventure in randomised ruminants:

But is it art?
Yes, I saw that. People do have this tendency to send me cow related things. Is it art? Well, why not?
I feel a genre coming on … how about Ikcowbana?
Ha. Yes, well, that would be fun. But not right now – very busy until Christmas Day and then preparation for the Annual Rasputin comp (refer to FAQ for more info). Maybe in the New Year.
