I quite like the cow as a whole, in the field, happily munchng away at the grass while I sit oon a balcony eating fruit scones feeling fantastic that I have no intention of roasting such a beautiful animal for my dinner
I agree with RetroGroove_Grrl, cows are beautiful alive, I really enjoy watching them graze happily in the field.
I think one has to learn to appreciate the bovine in its complete form. They are much better that way.
