Do cows get bored?
My fiance is from the big city and I'm a backwoods yokel. Every time we go visit my folks we pass several dairy/beef farms and she asks me if cows get bored. I never really ask a cow if it was bored. How 'bout you guys? I contend that they do not get bored because they don't know any better.

No, actually they are quite contented.
In fact, they have special milk made from contented cows ( Evaporated milk comes to mind)
The cows brain is very small in used mass.
Most of it covers:cudding,drinking,moving,memory,alertness & emotion.
All the other stuff they do, is because they know they are going to be butchered someday

Obviously they have way too much free time on their ha...I mean, hooves. And yes, they know what's coming.

Speaking of which...I had to fill up on the way home today, and pulled into my fave cheapo gas station. Choice was, pull up behind a gooseneck full of bovines, or an Explorer towing a couple of sheep. I love my commute!

They're no geniuses, I'll agree to that. But having had sheep, (no, not like THAT!) I would have to say that THEY take the cake as the dumbest of the dumb. I've seen one dash for a hole in the fence and get caught in it, only to have all the others follow. "Oh look, Morty's makin' a break for it, I guess we oughta do the same!" And the better grazing is on their side of the fence, there's no reason to go through. I guess the grass is always greener...! And of course, they don't learn from their mistakes, they just keep doing the same stupid stuff over and over. I really detest sheep. Cows however, are at least sort of cute. -TD
