We always go in the livestock barn during the State Fair...love seeing the Brahman...such sweet faces. The State Fair was canceled this year.... Hugs Cecilia
Now I'm wondering if they let you pet the cows in India. Everybody always thinks I'm crazy because when I see a cow I go to the fence and they come to me and I talked to them and pet them and have been known to kiss them between the eyes. So what would they do to me if I did that in India and this one is absolutely gorgeous
Hari OM As David points out, the cow is revered in India - all breeds, but in particular, the Brahmin. Hindus do not eat beef; the bulls are hailed as the vahanas (vehicles/carriers) of the Lord whilst the cows are the mother of all, providing milk from which come also butter and cheese and from both comes the dung for fires and buildings (traditionally - and still so in rural areas). So yes, you could certainly approach the cattle - though with caution. Despite being used to human company, you still need to exercise care! Yxx
