Rare 'panda cow' born in CO

A rare miniature cow with markings similar to a panda was born on a farm in northern Colorado. Farmer Chris Jessen raises miniature cattle and also owns a miniature kangaroo on his hobby farm. The miniature panda cow is the result of genetic manipulation. A white belt encircles the animal's midsection, and the cow has a white face with black ovals around the eyes, giving it a panda-like appearance. The mini-cattle are bred solely as pets. Jessen says panda calves can sell for $30,000. Source Photo: AP

Cute little mini-moos

As adorable as they are, the little cows at the Memphis Zoo shouldn't be mistaken for calves. At more than a year old, miniature cows Cloudy and Darwinia are the newest residents at the zoo's Once Upon a Farm. Cloudy is only about 25 inches tall at the shoulders and was bred from Hereford and American Lowline stock. Her companion, Darwinia, is 36 inches at the shoulders and was bred from American Lowline and Belted Galloway, a heritage breed with a recorded history some experts say dates back to the 16th century, when farms were smaller.

I'll stick to Coke, thanks

Hindu scientists have devised a new drink made from cow urine. The drink has been devised by the Cow Protection Department of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh. Rather coyly, they've called it 'gau jai,' the Sanskrit for 'cow water' and say it is in the final stages of development. Om Prakash, the head of the department, said: "Don't worry, it won't smell like urine and will be tasty too." Good to know. Source

Happy Cows

The California Milk Advisory Board and its ad agency, Deutsch/Los Angeles, have launched their most elaborate Happy Cow campaign yet. The campaign's centerpiece is an "audition" process involving no fewer than 10 cows from around the world. Each cow is vying to become the California Milk Advisory Board's next Happy Cow, taking a place alongside previous Happy Cows Diane, Janice and Sadie. You can look at the cows profiles and audition tapes by visiting realcaliforniamilk.com

Getting a jump on Halloween

A Middletown, Ohio, court has sentenced a woman to a month in jail after she admitted to chasing children and blocking traffic while dressed as a cow. Michele Allen, 32, pleaded guilty to one count of disorderly conduct after police said she dressed as a cow Saturday night and chased children after urinating on a neighbor's porch. Allen was ordered by an officer to go home and remain there for the evening, but later in the evening authorities received a call that a woman in a cow costume was blocking traffic. Police said she had alcohol on her breath when an officer arrived and she shouted and swore at the officer. She was sentenced to one month in the Middletown Jail. Source: 700wlw (via Boing Boing)

But, what will the neighbors think?

Rising supermarket prices are persuading hundreds of families to turn their back gardens into mini-ranches stocked with miniature cattle. Registrations of the most popular breed, the Dexter, have doubled since the millennium and websites are sprouting up offering “the world’s most efficient, cutest and tastiest cows”. For between £200 and £2,000, people can buy a cow that stands no taller than a large German shepherd dog, gives 16 pints of milk a day that can be drunk unpasteurised, keeps the grass “mown” and will be a family pet for years before ending up in the freezer. The Dexter, a mountain breed from Ireland, is perfect for cattle-keeping on a small scale, but other breeds are being artificially created to compete with it, including the Mini-Hereford and the Lowline Angus, which has been developed by the Australian government to stand no more than 39in high but produce 70% of the steak of a cow twice its size.

Saving the planet

Animal Planet has created a great website, The Animals Save the Planet. It has animated shorts, fun downloads, and suggestions on saving the Earth. My favorite is the farting cow, Stanley, who teaches that livestock is responsible for 18% of total greenhouse gas emissions. Stanley suggests saving the planet by eating less meat. Well, of course he would say that, duh! If you like Stanley too, you can download a Farting Cow widget.

Italian Farmers will raise Japanese Kobe cattle

A farm in Comazzo, Italy, is raising Japanese Wagyu cows to woo meat-loving Italians with the world's most expensive Kobe steaks. The Italians are hoping the tender, marbled beef will revive falling beef consumption and give their profits a boost. Chocolate-colored Yoko, Waghino and Hirino, stumbling in their stall on a farm just south of Milan, are about a month old and are the first Wagyu calves to be born in Italy. They come from embryos imported from Australia. They will be meticulously reared and coddled for 2-3 years, with massages and a diet including beer to give them the famous marble-like meat texture webbed with fat veins for the first "Made in Italy" Kobe steak to land on someone's plate.

Holy cow! There's cows all over the place today

In Cincinnati, Ohio, searchers on the ground and in a sheriff's department helicopter Monday were looking for an Angus steer that postponed its date with a slaughterhouse by bolting out a gate that had been inadvertently left open. In Australia, police were forced to shoot a cow which was discovered toddling along a major motorway near the town of Nerang, 43 miles south of Brisbane, after it escaped from a nearby property. In Indonesia, a Boeing 737 was landing at Merauke airport in southwest Papua when it hit a calf which was running across the runway. The plane suffered damage to its left engine but no one was injured. The report did not say if the calf was killed. A Pennsylvania man has been sentenced to two years probation and 50 hours of community service for mailing a bloody cow's head to his wife's lover. In Quasqueton, Iowa, Keith Franck got an unexpected surprise when his cow gave birth to rare triplets. Triplets occur about once in 100,000 births among cows.
