Ok, before I go on to post anything about my tour I feel I print a retraction on an inacuracy in my earlier posts. Apparently there are complexities of bovine taxonomy of which I was unaware and when I reported that this picture was a cow I was wrong. I have been advised that this is in fact an Ox not a cow. How can you tell? See the hump on it's neck? Apparently that indicates it's an Ox. So if you are looking what you think is a hunchbacked cow it may be an Ox instead.
See this one has no hump and is therefore a Cow. What can I say I am just a simple city girl and I always thought if it walked like a cow and smelled like a cow it's a cow. I would like to hereby apologize to any cows/oxen I may have offended with my incorrect species identification. I am happy to report, however that the chickens I saw were in fact chickens so I didn't completely fail Farm Animals 101.
