Big praise for small cows

Wednesday, December 31, 2008
The wind is whistling and the snow is falling on Peter Amstutz’s farm.

Still, the barns are unoccupied.

Out in the field a group of woolly black and white cows are huddled together.

They somewhat resemble a group of bison or even muskoxen, staring into the wind with beatific calm.

Some cows have a face full of snow and are almost camouflaged in all white.

Talk about cold cuts!
