A cow says, "G'day!"

Today's lesson is all about cows. Did you know that cows have regional accents? This means that while one herd of cows might moo to you with a, "Howdy, ma'am," another herd might sneer something along the lines of, "'Ey, I'm walkin' 'ere!" True story. Here are some other fun facts about cows:

A group of twelve or more cows is called a flink. Twelve or more cows object to being involved in something with such a ridiculous name as flink.

It is possible to lead a cow upstairs, but not downstairs. This is a fun trick when you want to surprise your dear sleeping granny with a GIANT BOVINE in her bedchamber. Alas, this also means that you can never get a cow to go down into your creepy gimp dungeon. Bummer.

Cows can feel the air pressure drop before an impending storm and will lie down. They do this in preparation for an epic mud wrestling match. My money's on the heifer in the tube top!

Cows cannot vomit. This means that cow hangovers are horrendously painful.

Cows can produce up to 125 lbs. of saliva per day. This explains why so many cows find gainful employment licking stamps in corporate mail rooms.

The Sanskrit word for 'war' means 'desire for more cows'. The Sanskrit word for 'train wreck' translates into 'Lindsay Lohan'. No joke!

Capogiro loves cows. The cows that we get our milk from are Scottish Ayrshire cows from Wholesome Dairy Farms, which is located deep in Amish country in Yellow House, PA. Our cows have cute names like Moxy, Dottie, Daisy, KitKat, and Tequila. Our cows are from a closed herd and are grass fed. Our cows are happy cows. Happy cows make for the best gelato. Yum.
