And don't forget to enjoy the industrial revolution.
Heifer-wise.
The URL is giving me an error page.
And I need to know if the Heifer is suitable for Count Lavender.
I do rather think we should invite Count Lavender round for tea.
Try this.
Where do these folks get off rendering these demented animals? Surely they didn't actually look like that. They're odd, in the same way the Peaceable Kingdom livestock are odd.
Mark I think that Canadians can't access that NYT site, but I have managed to gleen from a cache that the heifer in question did indeed belong to our dear Queen Victoria who may consider Count Lavender to be beneath a most royal connection.
this link looks great, too bad I can't access any of the articles like:
MRS. STREET IN COURT; Waived Examination and Was Held on Two Charges. TWO WOMEN PRIS0NERS FAINTED Both ...
and W.F. ZITTEL'S ANNULMENT SUIT; He Says He Was Drunk When He Married Emma Richter -- She Declares that ...
M. Jean, I always assumed they were accurate representations and owed their robust physiques to the English country air.
I suppose you are going to have a problem with the Hog at Tidmarsh Farm too.
"This hog the property of Mr. Chas. Butler, was killed at Tidmarsh farm. near Pangbourn, Berks: 15 March 1797, 3 ft. 7½ high. 8 ft. long. 9 ft. girt.
11 inches thick of fatt on the shoulder. 2and a half years old, 40 score 11lb weight or 57 sto: 13lb. – 14lb to ye stone. 101 sto. 3lb. – 8lb. to ye stone"
And HEAR HEAR for the adorably nubby Yorkshire Rose!
Hah! It's more than their aberrant shapes, I think. They're too clean; and their stances are anthropomorphic, as if they're conscious of posing. I suppose if somebody's paying you big bucks to paint his cow you're not going to cover it in barnyard crud, but still.
Well, ok. I googled around a bit. Even his people look anthropomorphic. (Although they don't sport bulbous growths.)
It's advertising, gotta show your stock to its best advantage. Like this:
i have a collection of bull semen catalogs (of course i do), and the images are photographed so that the bulls look almost exactly like lavendar here, they havea fantastic, almost absurd flatness...
bull semen always brings the conversation to a close.
Not necessarily.
Well, I was imagining pictures of the cute little things, in formation, in profile of course, in an attitude of anthropomorphic posing. With names like Zippy Scooter, and Daring Dan III. Against a background of tumultuous landscape, the darkening sky shot through with hopeful rays of light.
From our friends at SEMEX, their feature bull sperm: DELABERGE LUCIDOR with a picture of one of his many many many many daughters, Dutchdale Lucidor Brenda.
Seems like they are cultivating a fancy pants image (which we can help them with, being all about the FINE ARTS here at this blog)
