Cows are my passion. What I have ever sighed for has been to retreat to a Swiss farm, and live entirely surrounded by cows - and china.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I absolutely adore cows. They're the most fascinating, gentle and beautiful animals. Their eyes are so amazing. I have ten that live on the land around my house. I love to talk to them. There are few things better than falling asleep in a field and being woken up by an inquisitive cow.
I have three cows, and I'm looking forward to more in the future, so I'll have a little herd.
A household can never appear prosperous without a cow. How auspicious it is to wake up in the morning to the mooing of your own cow!
The land is not in the least bit fertile and yet the cattle herds grow larger and larger. A cow represents capital investment here.
It's often hilarious to me that I'm writing about Tonga or some tropical place and there's a blizzard outside and the cows are on their backs with their hooves in the air.
But I think the majority of cows, and even more so chickens and pigs, are leading pretty miserable lives.
There's nothing like sitting back and talking to your cows.
Cows are amongst the gentlest of breathing creatures; none show more passionate tenderness to their young when deprived of them; and, in short, I am not ashamed to profess a deep love for these quiet creatures.
We spend more on cows than the poor.
The mere brute pleasure of reading - the sort of pleasure a cow must have in grazing.
