**How small are they?

Burger King has a new burger designed around them: the 1/8 pounder.
What’s next? Mini Chickens?

[foghorn leghorn] I say there, son, that’s a mighty small cock you have there [/fh] **

Pretty funny!

(You ever heard of a Cornish Game Hen?)

**They’d have to be much smaller than a St. Bernard for me to want one. A thirty-pounder would be about right. **

Do you know how tiny a thirty pound cow would be? Cows are big, stocky animals. Breeding a wolf into a chihuahua would look easy in comparsion.
As your local friendly Iowan, yer welcome. There’s an elk farm down the street, I think miniature ones of those would be neater. Or miniature bison…

These cows. They’re EVERYWHERE.

are those cows small, or are they just far away?

Well, I’ve decided what I’m gonna name my tiny cow-farm: the “Billy Bar-T.”

Eve, are you ready for your spanking?

[Eve]

I was hoping someone would get that, Oxy!

I think I’d prefer a pet that doesn’t shit its own weight every six hours

ooh! a my-sized cow! i’m a miniature person so a mini cow would be perfect! only thing is, we’re not allowed to keep non-fish animals in our dorm rooms…

A good friend of mine who breeds and trains horses for a living recently got a miniature cow. And like all good ideas which somehow enter the cosmos via an osmotic process, she has named her new cow Mini-Moo. What a strange and fabulous world we live in.

I visited my friend and Mini-Moo recently. What a sweetie! She really likes neck scratches, and loves to lick faces and hands. She weighs about 300 lbs. now, but is actually pretty similar to a St. Bernard. Weird.

A lot of miniature animals have paraded through my life- I have a pygmy goat named Abdul. My mom has a miniature pot-bellied pig named JubJub that lives in the house with her. Jub weighs 90 lbs. and eats lots of carrots. My mom has little piles of blankets strewn around for Jub to root in, and she wanders about the house making little grunting noises to herself. She is possibly the most precious thing I have ever seen.

Surely, there’s a “ground beef” joke in here somewhere…

Billy Bar-T…:smack:

In support of Eve’s skills at identifying hot news, Chuck Shepherd quotes the Wall Street Journal on planned mini-cows in Cuban apartments.

In a May dispatch from Cuba, The Wall Street Journal reported that Fidel Castro proposed in 1987 to alleviate a chronic milk shortage by trying to get his scientists to clone the most productive cows, shrunk to the size of dogs so that each family could keep one inside its apartment. The cows would feed on grass grown inside under fluorescent lights. Cuba was the home of the late Ubre Blanca, the Guinness book record-holder as the most milk-productive cow of all time.

Not only the epitome of feminine charm, Eve is also quick to identify hot new news items, it would seem!
