Oh, he obviously hunts on the Hanford nuclear reservation. We get grouse with four legs there commonly.

We didn't get the snow some places did (not even close), but it was still slick on the highways today.

Number 3 kinda makes me laugh. I was in a shooting club for a bit. Stationary targets and moving targets no problem. I couldn't hit the flying brickette for the life of me so when it flew, I shot fast so I didn't waste time. (I wasn't a record setter anyway- why be even slower.)

I love steak. But I have to admit, seeing this picture of their daily existence did make me a bit sad.

Cows don't mind. They love the snow. Plus if they get cold they will go into the barn.

Cows don't mind.

That's good to know. I've never been around the beasts too much, except in little packages marked "$XX per lb".

The picture also reminds me of the spouses who don't know anybody at a work Christmas party gathered around the food table.

That's a picture of some very happy cattle. They have plenty of food. They have no concept of the future so they have no worries.
They are worth a lot of money so they are well cared for.

Notice that insulating fur keeps the snow from melting.

They look delicious to me!
Like @backlash said, they have the best of 'everything free'.
Like all good socialist, they are also surrounded by people that say: "which one do we eat first? "

All that 'free-everything' comes with a steep price.

Wow that brings back memories. I used to work in a packing house. On a busy day 500-700 cows and 1000 hogs per day.

Yeah, if I was a cow I'd pass on the 'free-everything' and be hanging out with these guys:

Drove down the mountain today. The kid has Neuro and dentist apts next week so we came down early to pack up some more stuff. Views from the drive.

Break out the bicarbonate of soda! Feed lots where cattle are finished on a high grain diets use more baking soda than any other Industry... High grain diets give cows indigestion... I always found this funny for some reason... It's also used in the dairy industry.
