Like Park Avenue debutantes, our Holsteins were high maintenance, moved in packs, and were immune to reasoning or punishment. Though we assumed that they were dumb as fence posts, they didn't have to outsmart us--they merely wore us down with repetition. Whatever they had done today, they would find a way to do again tomorrow.

This person was a REAL cow owner, not a pretend one. That is clear.
Yes, indeedy! They also had a pet cow named Shirley and when she went to be butchered, they wrapped the meat in the traditional white wrapping paper and wrote "Shirley" on it. Put me in mind of Licky.
