Such a pretty face

Thanks to everyone for the very welcoming response to my guest blipper, Mr. K. I had to wrest the camera from his hands ask him sweetly to return my camera to me today.

You know that I am back because here is one of my favorite subjects -as my friends know, I am obsessed with cows. I think this lovely girl's name is Oreo (I just named her that) because of her black & white coloring. She is a Belted Galloway.

According to wikipedia: "The Belted Galloway is a heritage beef breed of cattle originating from Galloway in the west side of southern Scotland, adapted to living on the poor upland pastures and windswept moorlands of the region. The exact origin of the breed is unclear although it is often surmised that the white belt that distinguishes these cattle from the native black Galloway cattle may be as a result of cross breeding with Dutch Lakenvelder belted cattle. It is the belt that gives them their name.

Belted Galloways are primarily raised for their quality marbled beef, although they are sometimes milked and purchased to adorn pastures due to their striking appearance."

We are still in Maine, and I may have a very unusual blipping opportunity tomorrow. If it turns out well, you'll see the results in tomorrow's blip. Wish me luck!
