Not OP and not my story but this is very interesting.

My middle school teacher grew up on a dairy farm. She had a special cow that she showed. One day they went out found that this cow was acting weird, like she had milk fever. This happens when they're pulling too much calcium from their bones and basically paralyzes them. A shot of calcium and they're all good. So they tried giving her a shot but it wasn't working.

So they called out the vet and the vet said the cow was in labor. But she wasn't due for another month. The vet decided there was a dead calf and they needed to cut it out. So the vet pulls out the calf and it's inside out. The organs are on the outside, the legs are are all messed up. It's a rare disorder that basically makes the cells fuck up and put everything in the wrong place.

NSFW photo of it. well not actually sure what caused this but a photo of something It might've looked like.

Anyways behind the messed up calf there was a perfectly formed one, but the cow lived.

If you are ~6ft tall, and have 2ft fins on, you are now ~8ft long

I'm 5'1... I wish! lol.

Makes sense. I'd be intimidated too.

Have you ever had a scary interaction with a shark? What's the largest dude you've ever seen?

Not OP and a goat farmer but:

Different breeds have different % of butterfat content. For example, a Nigerian dwarf goat has the highest butter fat content, so they make the best butter.

Toggernberg goats were originally bred for cheese production, so their milk can often taste very strong. But would make good cheese.

Also I'm not sure if cows are like this, but some goats are seasonal breeders. This means the does only come into heat during certain times of the year, and the bucks only go into rut during a certain time of year. Non seasonal breeders will come into heat monthly and so you can breed them whenever you want.

Edit: Ok so cows aren't seasonal breeders.

What's your favorite species?

Awesome! It's truly how it should, as to not harass them or damage them. They can be so fragile.
