Have you guys read the story of the spite cow?

I am a little confused between the difference between a male dairy spite cow and a spite bull, but I will take the writer's word on it.

I loved this story!  I might have to get my husband a tuxedo when he retires! 

[BlsdMama]

I may have sent this to all four of my adult children. 😜

[Terabith]

My friend Jeremy read this story and said to his wife, "Tara, we should move to the UK and get a spite cow!"

And our mutual friend Nancy said, "Why move to the UK?  Get a spite cow right now!  It would save you having to mow the 45 degree slope in your yard."

I said, "Who do you want to spite in the UK?"

Jeremy:  "I figure if Americans move in, someone will feel put upon."

Well, according to the writer, a male dairy spite cow has absolutely no purpose, so a bull must be full of it.

....

Of purpose, I mean, of course.

Oh my gosh. Sometime I should tell you all about the Amish foster cow we had that tried to kill me! Thank you for this

[Eos]

I definitely read the title as Sprite Cow and wondered what kinds of liquids could flow from an udder besides milk...

Those are some very interesting hobbies that fellow has! o.0

I have been following the saga of the cats who will not surrender the Vitamix.

That is fantastic.  I love their optimism that the cats will not know which box is the valuable one and will just climb on the others.

I would assume that one is castrated and one is not. Because intact male dairy bulls are COMPLETELY INSANE. 

[Terabith]

I also love the story of gavin the cat on the plane.  Unfortunately, I can't find a non twitter source for it.  And now I can't find the second half of the story even on twitter, where he was on the second plane, chewed a hole in his carrier, and escaped multiple times.

If you go to Sydney Phillips on Facebook, she has the whole saga as a twitter thread, and it's glorious.

Wouldn't that be a spite steer?

Isn't a cow defined by the reproductive organs it has, not the ones its missing?

Also, are dairy bulls more insane than meat bulls?

They can only occupy 3 out of 4 at a time. Maximum 2 if someone leaves to eat. May the odds be ever in the smoothie-makers' favor.

Yes, technically it would be a spite steer.

And while people do use cow to refer to any bovine, you are correct in that cows are always girls, 

YES! Dairy bulls are WAY more nuts than beef.

I would not ever have a dairy bull out here on the farm. I've never had a nervous moment with our beef bulls. I've moved them, put them in a chute, and loaded them on the truck on my own and never been nervous. Our bulls are pretty gentle and I'm very careful and aware. But dairy bulls are CRAZY! I'm sure there are some beefers with wild personalities, but dairy bulls have a reputation for being the most dangerous kinds.

Huh, this is why I love the Hive.  I learn things I didn't even know I didn't know.  

I guess I will not be keeping a spite dairy bull in my front yard then.

Right, I just predict that they will figure out which one is valuable and rotate to make sure it's covered.

Spite steer would be fine.  

Or a spite PIG would be even BETTER!

MY dh has plans for a herd of spite pigs near our neighbors' house. It literally would be spiteful and he knows it and doesn't care.

Pigs are awful to leave near. They smell HORRIBLE.

Yes, except 

a) I live in a pretty urban area with tiny yards so I'd have to live near them too.

b) I like my neighbors

c) I told my kid a small lizard was too much work, so probably a herd of spite pigs would make me look like a hypocrite

I know someone in a feud with her neighbors who would 100% do this.

Also, what if the monolith was all just to freak out the neighbors?!? 😂

Putin's brother's energy is seriously kinda scary.  Obama is petrified of their house, and they have a rotating band of dogs that are poorly contained.  The man is always scowling and angry looking.  So when @Baseballandhockey suggests I go make friends with him, that's never going to happen.  I'm kinda scared of the man.  But he does love his yard passionately.

Maybe bring him an old fashioned Hive pot plant?

Of course Putin's brother is angry. His brother Vlad gets to be in charge of an entire country, and all he gets is a yard in a suburban neighborhood and a stupid little monolith. 

Vlad was probably his mother's favorite, too.

Far, far superior to the yard dragon that I got scammed on.  (Still bitter)

Me too. Absolutely if it was legal.
