And, being a card-carrying breast man, I most certainly did see that show.

That was called "The Standard of Perfection" and was up in Maine. Most of those were dairy cows IIRC. The thing I got a big kick out of was watching all those cows walking to their individual stalls in the parlour without any guidance from bipeds.

Two years ago, if you'd asked me if I was going to raise cattle, I would have said hell no! But since then, I've learned that they turn grass into money a lot faster and more efficiently than any tractor ever will and, I've come to truly appreciate them for what they are and their gift from the Maker.
