No, Joy, I didn't know!

But, this is actually interesting stuff... per howstuffworks.com, they produce gas at both ends!


Quote:
Cows emit a massive amount of methane through belching, with a lesser amount through flatulence. Statistics vary regarding how much methane the average dairy cow expels. Some experts say 100 liters to 200 liters a day (or about 26 gallons to about 53 gallons), while others say it's up to 500 liters (about 132 gallons) a day. In any case, that's a lot of methane, an amount comparable to the pollution produced by a car in a day.

^^ You can't "park" a cow as easy as you can a car!

That’s so true; they have a gas supply that won’t quit.

I remember many years ago on grandpa’s farm trying to get a cow moved into the barn for milking…… it took forever. And they don’t back up easily, just when you steer one end where you want it the other end moves back out of place. And always keep one eye on the floor, you never know what you’ll step into…………
