I have my suspicious about just how trainable a cow might be. They strike me as particularly stupid animals. And I don't know how much control you would have over your bowels when your diet is almost exclusively grass-based. |
|
| |
Similarly, training geese to use latrines would save many a golf course. |
|

//I wonder if cows could be trained to use outdoor latrines. // |

cow do have a toilet and are trained to use it. It's called a gutter in a barn. If you were a farmer, I'd call you stupid, if you were a city person, I'd call you ignoraint |

If you're a hot redhead you can call me anytime. |

<hot redhead> Hey there, Anytime. *wink* </hr> |

No, seriously, shocking cows when they are trying to take a dump is not really what the environment needs right now. |
|
| |
And why IS this in food:milk? Shouldn't it be under Product: Energy: Methane or something? |

k_sra, cook him a square meal and he is putty in your hands :) |

Some cows can be trained. We had a pet bullock when I was a kid. His name was Moses. We found him, orphaned as a calf, in the reeds on the bank of the spring behind the house. He would come when called; sidle up to the fence so we could climb on, to ride him; find carrots we hid for him, fetch a tennis ball... etc. |
|
| |
My, what a touching story! The past tense is noted though, how did he end up tasting? |
|
| |
He died of old age, at 22. My uncle called, as I had long left the cattle station, and told me, "Moses died during the night." I was pretty upset. |
|
| |
My most memorable moment was the day he climbed the stairs into the main kitchen (there were three kitchens in the house) and polished off 4 dozen scones my grandmother had cooked for afternoon tea. We were expecting a dozen or so guests. |
|
| |
She came into the room, and found him snuffling up the last few crumbs. An 800lb ox, slipping and sliding around on a shiny, waxed floor, finally leaving a bucketful of digested grass on the floor as he made his escape. |
|
| |
He was banned from the houseyard, from that day. |
|
| |
Have to agree with dickity - not needed for stabled cows, defeats the purpose of free range cattle. |
|
| |
On a fun note, you can housebreak horses, donkeys, and goats. They are more careful with where they urinate than with where they poo, though. |
|
| |
And why the heck don't we process farm waste for energy, anyhow? The closest I've heard is of a zoo that sells fertilizer for funding. It's called ZooDoo. |
|
| |
I have this memory, sullengrill that zoos sell big cat droppings for your garden to deter moggies. honestly! |
