Cows - May 17, 2007

When I saw the subject for today's challenge, "Cows", I called
my friend who owns a dairy farm and told him I needed a "cow"
photo and asked if I could come over to take some. When I arrived
there was a tour group of elementary school children visiting. I
took this shot of the kids meeting one of the newborns. The babies
are removed from their mothers within hours of their birth to get
them used to human interaction. Having the school kids pet and feed them helps.

Here's another shot I was considering for today's challenge
