This is something for us to ponder, the best meat comes from vegetarians,
which makes one think the same about eggs, both nutritious, so maybe the vegans are on to something, an excellent read, very well written****kahpot

I appreciate your kind remarks. Whether vegetarianism is better or not, I like a juicy burger w/o fries, a succulent rib-eye when priced affordably, and corned beef and cabbage, even though I'm more British than Irish.
Comment from T B Botts
Hi Tom,
I didn't realize that cows only had one stomach. I always thought they had four. Interesting. I always thought the whole idea of regurgitating was kind of gross. I wonder if cows ever really puke? The whole idea is rather repulsive. Now, thanks to you, I may have to think about this tomorrow when I go to pour milk on my cereal. It won't keep me from doing it, it will just give me pause. Try not to think too much OK? I don't want to have to consider everything I do because of your inquiring mind. Thanks for another great post.
Blessings,
Tom

I think that cows eat anytime they get the urge, to include nighttime snacks. The National Inquirer is OVERPRICED.
I now know more about a cow's stomach than I ever wanted too. HA! Keep the wheels turning in that big brain, Tom.

Marilyn wrote and taught (?) me cows lay down to chew their cud. Makes sense since ( I like that - sense since) how could they regurgitate while standing since they?re eating while upright, right? If right. that was a fun fact. 😋
Comment from Liz O'Neill
This is funny: "I also wonder if they graze at night and whether they chew each mouthful thirty-two times as we are suggested to do to promote 'regularity'. They do seem to do a lot of chewing. Of course some of it is just they're chewing their cud. You do have some good humor: "Either way, there is no denying that cows are vegetarians, whereas I have a strong preference for meat; thus, I wouldn't fit in." This was fun to read.

Comment from Begin Again
I've always had a soft heart for the cows on a farm, especially those little tiny ones. Now, I'm not sure I need to know all the ins and outs of chewing their cud and I definitely know I don't care to have a $139.88 subscription to National Enquirer. You've got too much time on your hands.

That may be true having time but it is a health issue for if I am not engaging my mind I am engaging my appetite and even though I carry my weight well at six-six passing the century number on a scale says eat less

Your property sounds very peaceful and enjoyable with the cows looking at you through the windows. If you were one of them you wouldn't have a brain such as yours so you would be perfectly happy eating and lying dying down. Unless you had to think about being chopped up for meat!

Oh my goodness, you are quite knowledgable about cows Tom, an expert maybe. I am thankful that I have never eat a cow or any meat since I was 20. Once I learned that meat stays in your intensities for decades, I would not touch the stuff! A fine, informative post Tom, love Dolly x

Comment from BethShelby
I take it this herd of Herdfords belong to you. My husband had a herd of Herdfords too when we lived in Mississippi. They seem rather stupid and boring to me. Somehow I don't think of you as a rancher. I have an enquiring mind too. Today I've looked up information on how one gets to be poet lauerete an how much they paid and what the have to do. I've looked up why some volcanos blow smoke rings and why the Bible says we not to eat animals that eat other animals or birds of prey.
It fact all the animal were are suppose to eat have multiple stomach compartments. Does this mean I have a demented or mystifying mind?

Comment from Julie Helms
I live on Wooly Acres, also inhabited by cud chewers of the wooly variety. That cud chewing and complex stomach is because the fiber in grass is extremely difficult to digest. That's why we humans take fiber for 'regularity' in bowel health--we can't digest it so it just moves everything on through the system faster. Our stomach enzymes digest meat much better.
Great observations of the one observing you. And you make a good point...how exclusive vegetarians create such delectable steaks! Or in my case, lamb roasts.

So sheep have cuds, too?
Thank you
-
Yes, well I don't know about having cuds. Cud is the lump of grass, but they graze all day, then bring the cud back up when laying down and rechew.
-
So that is why they lay? Interesting but it is reasonable for if they didn?t they be eating and the egress and ingress would be in conflict
-
No they lay down because they're lazy. ANd they are terrible about eating where they poop--causes a big parasite headache for us.
-
Ok I didn?t know that
Comment from Ric Myworld
It's amazing how all the truths and myths get twisted up so much that we end up with nothing but a bunch of lies. You do have me wondering though about why cows would have been given a four-chamber stomach to help them with digestion. I mean, us humans, who primarily love meat if we tell the truth, and don't pretend to be vegetarians, aren't made to digest meat at all. Our long intestines are designed strictly for plant-based eaters. Thanks for sharing.

If what you say is true, why did God create cows... and burgers, steaks and roasts???
Thank you for being there. I need someone to share my stupidity.
