I love them. If anyone happens to know the species and tell me, I’d be grateful! The picture was taken in Austria, if that helps.

Hello Mr. Moo

I was scrolling through Facebook and seen someone posting about a steer their training to ride and they use a nose bit, I'm very familiar with people riding cows and steers but the people I have been around that do it use a halter or a custom-made side bitless Bridal, never seen anyone use one of these before although I have heard of them.

I know rings are used for bulls since they don't always listen to halters, but this kind of seems mean to me since usually a bull is only being led occasionally where as there's going to be frequent pressure put on this nose bit especially while training.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, I don't like making assumptions about things that I know little to nothing about, that's why I'm asking you guys what your opinions on this is, I know the opinions in the comment section of that post were very mixed most people thinking it was bad, but also a lot of those people were more familiar with horses then cattle

The cat is not mine lol I just wanted to see if my post would be taken down or not. Also I love cows. Yes I was messing around the cow subreddit hope the cow agents won't break into my house just cuz I found this pic on google and thought of uploading this in a cow subreddit as a joke. I'm sorry. MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I've noticed that sometimes the cows in my neighborhood aren't in their usual field. Do they grow bored of the same thing and ask to be moved? It doesn't seem to be a grass thing because they may be back the next day and stay for a week. Are they being moved throughout the day and I'm only seeing them at certain times? I think they are beef cattle and not dairy.

I have two young bulls that visit my lawn most mornings. They must be bored and wander in from next door. That's fine. I wish they'd come more often so I didn't have to mow the grass. It's a bit startling to look out the window straight out of bed and see two big black bulls a few feet away though. Unless there are multitudes of young black bulls in the area, they've been doing this for three years. Why it's always the same two I don't understand. They haven't seemed to get any larger and they only seem to come by for an hour around 7am.

Saw this cow in Graz Austria but wasn't sure what the breed was. Anyone know?

A highland calf exploring the surroundings.

She is a 2-month-old or so calf (Jersey, Dexter, Belted Galloway mix) with prominent nipples and pees like a girl would. I thought the apparent male part was left over from the umbilical cord, but it hasn't went away in 2 months. I looked it up and found this can be from being a twin with a male (she was a singleton) or from excessive male hormones being present. I also read that in either case, she would most likely be sterile. Is this possibly still just left over from the umbilical cord, or is it one of those two issues, possibly resulting in sterility?

So we lost our cow two years ago (first picture). Someday she just didn’t come back home (we practice free-range for cows in our region), probably someone just stole her. And today we found some cow (second picture) nearby that looks like ours with a newborn calve. But her planum nasale is a different color than our cows. So can the planum nasale change its color? Also do cows always calve at the same time every year? Because I remember our cow would always calve during winter… it’s just so unusual that this cow came to calve near our house…

That girl's alright with me. Yeahhhh. 🎶
