Uh, I Think I Would Pick the Cow

I watched a PBS special the other night titled, "The Standard of Perfection: Show Cattle." It was all about Maine beef and dairy farmers, so naturally my curiosity was peaked. The documentary explored the world of the farmers who show their cattle, concentrating on the Fryeburg Fair. There was one man who has a dairy farm over in Shapleigh, Maine who made a comment that just has to be shared:

"There's pretty women and there's pretty cows, but which one would you rather take home?"

Hmm... Interesting. I may need to think about that one.

Oh, for the record, the farmer was insinuating that every respectable New England farmer would pick the pretty cow over the pretty woman. Interesting. 'Nuf said.
