I just want to sleep, says this cow

The cow is so sleepy that didn`t mind the kids at all

She may be used to kids enough that she ignores them and keeps on sleeping, anyway. We always had one to three cows that we milked when I was a kid. As each of us boys reached 13, it became our early morning and afternoon chore to milk the cows... Sometimes mom sold gallons of milk to the neighbors or donated it to the church for special functions. We all churned butter from the cream in the evenings while we watched the television. (Mom put the cream into glass jars and gave us each a jar to shake. Mom watched the jars and told us when the butter was ready.)

The cow seems not bothered anymore with the kids around and just continues with the nap. I guess they are really that used to being touched by people and is not afraid of them anymore.

My sister went to college with a girl whose family had a “house cow”. They’d drink their milk straight from the cow to the table. My sister couldn’t bring herself to do that.

I always wish to keep a cow as it has lots of benefits but here in the city, you are not allowed to keep them. Diary farms are banned in the city.

I am curious, whatever happens to the calves they have, do they simply grow up and are sold? I hope that doesn't sound like too stupid of a question.

Pet me if you like, I need my beauty sleep.

The kids must be enjoying patting the sleepy cow. Kids would find this exciting, especially if it's their first time seeing a cow.

It certainly brought back your childhood memories.

This cow really seems to want to have a peaceful moment to nap. The little girl seems just to want to cuddle her.

She's so used to company that she just preferred to nap!

I bet the cow wishes those kids would just Moooo-ve along.

Maybe she stay awake last night for a late night movie

The scenery looks wonderful

The cow must have had enough of kids' pats. Nothing beats the milk and cream from house cows !At least,they contain no preservatives.

I had never seen a cow sleeping.

Like cats, cattle must like to nap in the warmth of the sunlight, but the children didn't realize that. I have had milk from the barn but never had any homemade butter. I remember my grandparents speaking of churning butter themselves, but as children. I believe that they were happy to give up the homemade butter when they could buy it from someone else.

She does want to sleep

Nice picture.

Nice to have milk directly from house cows. No preservatives.
