We Come From Cowtopia.........




Does anyone know just exactly what type of steer these are? I've always admired them and finally stopped to take their picture. Now before I got up close to them, I always thought they were a Longhorn, however their horns are not quite that of a Longhorn. I thought that Longhorns weren't quite so straight up like these and more out to the side. They're cool anyway and they were quite curious of me. The whole group of them came up to me as I was snapping away. My husband was in the car just laughing. I was giggling too. They cracked me up. Almost more interested in me than I in them.

I think I figured it out. These are some form of Ankole Cattle, which are African in origin.

The horns on this cow look smaller than the pictures I saw of the Ankole Cattle (I googled it, but the google pictures might not be an accurate representation). My first thought was Brahma. But I'm not a cow person, so I wouldn't be too surprised if I'm wrong.

Thanks, Tracy for the comment. I think they're cool anyway, I think they look like alians. The sun was on it's way down and the glowing eyes from the flash just cracks me up.
