"Momma, what are those cows that are black and white called?"

"Those are called
Holsteins."

"Oh. Girl cows are Holsteins, and boy cows are... what?"

"No... all black and white cattle are called Holsteins. The boys and the girls. But the boys aren't cows they're steer or bulls."

"When I was at the fair I milked a brown cow."

"Yes you did. Brown cows are called Jerseys."


"What are black cows called?"

"Black cows are called
Angus."

"Oh... Like Daddy?"

"Ummm.... huh?"


"That's his nickname."

(It's not, by the way, but now I'm calling the KingofHearts Angus every chance I get.)
