This is a start of my pumpkin crop.  For a few years we have raised about  1/2 acre of pumpkins.  I have marketed them here for a couple of years  and in the past have put them in a store.  What does not sell the cows go nuts over so there is not much loss. 8)

How does a Cow eat a pumpkin?   sounds like a photo op to me.  :D

It can be fun to watch.  It is more fun to watch in mid December.   ;) ;)   (Tom, plant matter gets stiff here in December :D)

i enjoy giving a dog an egg and watching them figure it out.  Domestication makes animals stupid (well, at least mine...)

I'm sure a cow is about the same way...

Dan,  When my brother and I were teenagers we would eat frozen fig newtons.  The dog was begging so we gave him one.   He dropped it and looked at us like we gave him a rock.   :D :D

This is what my cow thinks about that.

hah, i've never been around what I would call a "smart" cow, but then again, I never talked with one either.  All i know is they know when it's supper time, just like my dog!

 Like a lot of females, she couldn't decide what color she liked so I gave her one of each.

Back in the '60s during my railroad days, one of my jobs was conductor of the cane train out of Belle Glade, Florida.  We picked up the cars loaded with fresh cut sugar cane and delivered them to the sugar mills.  I always did my Wheel Reports back in the caboose. When our train had to make a stop at Canal Point, my caboose was opposite a pasture of cows.  One was a very young brahma bull and the others were herefords. While the train sat there, I climbed up on the last cane car and threw some sugar cane first to the brahma and then some to the other cows. It got so they would be waiting for me.  Anyway, one day a cow picked up one end of a sugar cane (3 or 4 feet long) and a hereford bull picked up the other end. They both seemed to be contented to share until they had eaten it down to where they were almost lip to lip. Then the bull yanked it out of the cows mouth and finished it off.  Whoever said railroading was boring was never out there. ;D

I'm gonna pick some to sell in the next couple days.  I've got an old toolbox I bolt onto a hay wagon for a cash box and people self serve.  I've got more than I'll probably be able to get rid of this year 8)  The deer'll eat good after Halloween. ;) ;) ;) ;D

WOW nice patch corley and wiam. I only had 4 vines that took because of the cold spring. But, I see some getting ripe. Mine are just Halloween pumpkin, no good for cooking...too wet.  I see big fields of them around the country and wonder how they ever sell them all.  :o
