Cows and Humanity
For the information of casual passersby, I was not raised on a farm, except we did have a milk cow named "Zook" that I milked every night and fed twice a day. I had no philosophical meanderings on the subject when I was a kid except that cats would gather around for a squirt or two, and I got a kick outta it. Warm milk freshly screened through a linen cloth, to remove the flies and other stuff including specks of cowpies, is the best thing. No we didn't boil it or "pasteurize" it, or separate the cream. Oh once in while we'd skim some cream and save it up and then I would churn it to make cheese.
I clearly empathize with those bawling calves who share my opinion on this subject.
But the thing that has been going on in my mind is the sort of psychological journey one must take to deprogram yourself from excessive claims of ideologies, social belief systems of various kinds with some cult parallels, and such, including having been in college for twelve years, besides K-12 in public schools.
I don't really like beef, the fat constituents don't feel good in my blood vessels. I like fish and raw sunflower seeds, but I need some beef for protein too.
cows need some thoughtful care. You can't leave dog food, which is largely "rendered beef waste", out where they can eat it, or they risk getting mad cow disease. If cows don't care to make an issue of it themselves I don't see why we need to make a huge issue of it, except for on the basis of rational science.

@Dr. Jones:
I still have that phone number you gave me last year, and I still stop for a few hours once in a while when passing through St. George. Looks like maybe another trip this coming weekend. Main problem is being in St. George during polite social hours without being in a rush to get to either LA or SLC. But I do have a brother there, and if we can hit one of his days off work we will stop to let his youngest daughter play with ours.
"Dr. Jones" of note in my family include Dr. Martha Jones of Dr. Who, and that crazy fool on the airwave hill, Alex, who seems to be a mix of an uneducated hillbilly and someone who actually can document and interpret real info. Anyway, in our world, anyone who tries to tell the truth, or interpret our politicians, is going to feel like a fool sitting on that hill in the old sixties song, singing thoughts while looking down on San Francisco, and all.

One thing I can say about bovine sexuality, from observing them, is that a bull will only be interested in a cow whose pee smells "good". Those pheromones.
A pack of bulls will follow that one cow, and yes indeed she will hightail it into the sage, but nevertheless she will have her calf.
little bulls and little calves are highly experimental, with no issues about "gay" or whatever. Clearly the issue is "fun".
I like that kind of good sense.
Ummm..

High ideals, even noble ones, are like constellations we might never actually get to explore in one lifetime. We should dream much further than we can see, and we should reach for things we can never really grasp. It's the highest human attribute to hope, to desire, to seek much further than what we know or have.
uhhhmmmmm. . . . .

I think I may have made you uncomfortable.
Do we have to create labels to create some artificial sense of "identity". We are human. Why create all kinds of "sorts" of humans and make a fuss about our differences?
I've never seen a bull all strung out with self-hate, or apprehensions of what others might think.
Cowboys, when they see two bulls doing some kind of unusual play, call it "Balling around". You don't fundamentally change your nature by having a different sort of idea about what is "fun".
Some scientists have looked for some kind of statistically-significant measure of sexuality. One finding is that phytoestrogens in food containers like pop bottles, the plastic lining inside steel cans, , and a lot of other plastics have caused measureable changes in male distinctions from females on several morphological features.
Somebody tell me, please, why we eat foods full of estrogens and then call it "natural" that men are effeminate?
Estrogens and their agonists, testosterone, determine a lot of things in human development, including differences in brain structures, smell and color centers that dominate our likes, dislikes, preferences, and such.
Also, somebody please tell me why behavior or "comfort zones" in relationships, call for differences in legal standing before the law. Let alone call for new labels we can argue about with one another.
The bovines don't bother with any of that. You are what you are. It's that simple.
a cow is a cow. A bull is a bull.
