THE BIGGEST HOGS I’VE EVER SEEN ….

Believe it or not, I grew up on a farm --- we had two milk cows, a herd of blank angus, chickens,  and a barn full of horses and ponies.   So, having been off the farm for about 30 + years , I’m visiting family in Longview TX and as we are driving down Highway 80, I see this

The first thought that went through my mind was --- those are the biggest hogs I’ve ever seen – in fact, I said it outloud – at which time, my son (who did not grow up on said farm) kindly reminded me that they were not hogs but cows.  Honestly, I realized that as soon as I made the comment but, they were the strangest cows I’ve ever seen.  Nicknamed “oreo cows” they are actually a breed of cattle called Belted Galloways.   They come from Scotland and are apparently quite popular.  Here is a site about them.   Just thought you might enjoy learning about a different kind of oreo .
