Audrey, who had shared photos of her old cow car, had to get a new one. She
writes, "I had let the COW CAR go to pasture, but it took me several months taking off everything on my old town car to put on the new town car 2001. But we did it with help from many friends and the Military -- we got her back on the road. Bette had a complete make over and the cow car is flasher than ever. She moo's and has many other sounds too. I had the other car for almost ten years and we are hoping for the same with this one...I made her a tribute to Bette."
Donna also sent some photos of the new cow car...

Quick Cow facts:
Do cows have horns? Yes, female bovines almost always have horns. While
some cows are naturally polled (which means horn-free), the majority have their
horns removed when they are calves to make them safer to handle. So, YES,
cows can indeed have horns!
Oreo cookie cows? Yes, there are "belted" bovines out there!
More cow facts!
- The Tarentaise originated in France, a descendant of native cattle found around the Isere River in eastern France.
- Camembert cheese originated in the late 1600s in Normandy, France.
- The native home of the Tarentaise cow is very mountainous; no other French cattle graze in an area with as high an altitude and such dramatic changes in elevation.
- Brahman cows stand about 4 feet high at the withers (not including the hump), and weigh an average of 1200-1300 pounds.
- It takes about 10 volumes of milk to get 1 volume of cheese.
- Simmental cows are large, mostly red with some white (often on the face, lower legs, and chest and belly).
- Ungulate is a term for any hoofed mammal. Cows are considered even-toed ungulates. (Pigs, camels, and deer are also even-toed ungulates.)
- The Hereford is the oldest of all beef breeds. They were first formed in Herefordshire, England, in 1742 by Benjamin Tomkins.
