Interesting read~ They would probably enjoy their last week set out to pasture (not like that's going to happen). I know I always feel happy when I do see cows grazing as I drive through the countryside.
Did anyone hear the NPR podcast about an autistic woman who designed a cattle moving system that was less frightening to cattle as they were moving through to be slaughtered? Not pleasant to think about, but it was sort of an intersting story.
Gosh, I entered autistic cattle slaughter into google and found all sorts of articles about her. This is one~
