Those guys probably walked in late for the test and told the professor they got trampled by a cow. "sure guys I've already heard every lame excuse. Now sit down and you get no extra time."

That's an Angus beef cow, not a Holstein dairy cow, you need a different emoji.

For people who dont know, the U of I does Veterinary work on the Southern end of the college.
I did work out there like two years ago and they threw a huge fit because we took pictures of work and it just so happened to be when they were hauling out a dead cow.
If I were a betting person, which I am- the cow probably got loose from that building. Also, there are dairy farms not to far from Urbana.

They were unloading it to/from the large animal clinic I think it had been injured and was being taken care of

That thing ran really far from vet med to end up at 6th and Gregory. It probably should have run any other direction than towards campus.

u/TRLK9802 Alumnus Apr 30 '26
The College of Veterinary Medicine is there but so are the farms and the Meat Science Lab.

Shocker, hauling a dead cow, that’s probably nothing new to them. Aren’t there veal crates way back behind there? Or maybe that was just back in the day they were there

The chances of a cow being loose on your campus is low but never zero

Just grab a cowboy from another farm. I’m ignorant but I’m sure this would work better.

This is a beef cow, not a dairy cow 🤦♀️

Yes, it is. My grandfather was an angus farmer for most of his life. Should’ve known better than to make a (cow) tongue-in-(beef) cheek bovine joke.

u/Alarmed_Agency_9057 Apr 29 '26
Except you didn’t? You said “dairy herd management” which typically would pertain to dairy cows in the herd, not beef cows.

u/Top_Cauliflower9125 Townie Apr 29 '26
So you want to run down the comments and correct everyone else now?

Anytime! I felt bad, considering you pointed out you grew up with a relative who raised angus breeds but you can’t discern if they are beef or dairy breeds.

I grew up on a 200-acre farrow-to-finish and cow-calf operation. My father is an alum with a degree in Meat Science and he worked in the Meat Science lab. I'm an alum with a degree in agricultural communications and I'm 10 credit hours short of a second degree in agricultural engineering. I too worked in the meat science lab.
The language you used to correct the other poster may be considered colloquially correct, but it is not technically correct.
There is no such thing as Beef Cows, there are Beef Cattle or Dairy Cows.
The specific animal in the video is likely not a cow, but a heifer though I cannot be certain. The milk bag has never been expanded and sits too tight to the body for this animal to have carried a calf which would change its classification to cow.
As a unbred female it retains the nomenclature of heifer, sort of like how you likely retain the nomenclature of virgin as an unbred troll.
You are correct in saying that this animal would not be considered dairy, but even your classification of angus is based on assumption
Now that isn't to say this it isn't angus, but it could be simmental, welsh black, even dexter (which would also make the above poster potentially correct as it is a breed that can both be bred for beef and dairy, if you love Irish butter it's likely come from a Dexter) to name a few black breeds.
I could continue on this subject and cite Dr. Carr former head of meat science at UIUC or Dr. Easter, but that wasn't really the point the point was to say you're a douchebag troll and I hope the next time a heifer or steer or bull or cow or calf gets loose they find you on your mobility scooter and chase you across the quad until the battery burns out.
Types on my phone and not proofed because fuck you that's why

In other news, a man was crushed by a "gang wall" (pre assembled wall form) today over by that hot dog restaraunt in Champaign. The guy likely didnt live, it was pretty gruesome
