ROCKWELL, Iowa (AP) – Dustin Pillard is betting his farm on compact cows. Pillard has 50 tiny cows on his northern Iowa farm, all about 3 feet tall. He’s hoping they’ll catch on as pets, and so far inquiries have come in from as far as Europe, Mexico and Argentina. “I like them,” said Pillard, 30. “If nobody else does, that doesn’t really bother me. We’re breeding just for the novelty end of it.” The smallest full-grown animal is a 3-year-old bull that’s 33 inches tall and weighs 320 pounds. The largest, a mature bull, is 35 inches tall and 400 pounds.
Probably saves on grazing area too - one ‘chia pet’ per animal.
Talk about giving into “lower” instincts.
What kind of sounds do they make? Do they just say “mo”?
Can’t you just picture Jack Palace rustling up these little cows?
" Ah crap bigger them them."
Eve, you constantly amaze me in your captivating threads (which lately seem to have a bovine theme lately.) Pound for pound, or moo for moo, you are batting a thousand in threads, IMHOYMMV.
It’s part of our massive conspiracy to remake Green Acres with a more diverse cast. Eve will of course do the Eva Gabor role. She’s practicing up with the cow interest.
