. . . I trust cows more than chemists."

- Quote by Joan Gussow

The first thing that came to mind when I saw all these cows laying down was how exhausted they must have been after "churning out the butter.' ;-)

I'm not sure, given all the chemistry that goes into cows to turn them into milk or meat machines, that this holds true. A tranquil bucolic capture though.

After all they do for us they deserve a good rest. Excellent rural capture Steven.

I love this photo, but then I love all animals. They really do look content though.
I am in full agreement with the quote as well.

Such a peaceful scene. I love that quote! I think that I would get tired everyday being milked twice a day. They deserve some rest. So many beautiful cows!

my first thought was that it must be nap time in the kindergarten class - but these beasts look older than 5

Un peu de repos bien mérité, ruminer en permanence donne le droit de se vautrer voluptueusement dans l'herbe grasse.
J'adore !

We don't know how exhausting life must be for cows. Ruminating can be a tiring process.
