That's a bunch of beef Written by Laraine (3/30/2008 11:55 a.m.) in consequence of the missive, Want to see a couple?, penned by JulieW

They look huge in that painting. I've never seen one, but Harriet's description of a "pretty little" cow always made me think they might be smaller than these look. Of course, Harriet's could have been young. I also didn't know that they were black (duh--I could have looked that one up, couldn't I?).

Neat picture--thanks, Julie!
