If i gave the cows chips would they eat them?

Specialun

I was out walking pooch earlier and i stopped to rub a cows head as he was peaking out the gate

They were all eating grass happy out

Got me thinking would they eat chips if i ate them..do they ever get sick of just grass...does dry grass and wet grass taste different to them

Cows will pretty much try to eat anything that looks/smells good. That includes beef.

That is how cows get mad cow disease.

Next time your walking past you should take 5 mins and stop and ask them.

From eating beef? Nope.

From being zombie cows and eating brains and spinal fluid, Yes.

I love calfs.

OP, give them a bag of chips and a burger and see how they get on.

Cow 1 : have you heard about this mad cow disease? Terrible stuff...

Depends if they're organic cows I suppose.

Cows have best friends and get very upset when the bold farmer separates them....for.....:( reasons.

They'll eat some vegetables and potato skins I think. If you didn't cook the chips they'd probably eat them.

Ruu

They would eat you and everyone you care about if you gave them the chance!

They probably would eat the chips. They definitely will eat spuds as a neighbour feeds them the discarded spuds from grading machines.

Wet and dry grass will taste the same but they will eat more drier grass than wet grass and grow/milk better because of it. They will eat shorter grass in preference to longer grass as it is sweeter and will eat freshly sown grass before older grass, again because it is sweeter.

I had one. Kunna's (don't ask about the name). She was lovely, would run up for a pet when I came into the field. Almost felt guilty about eating her after. Almost

You wouldn't be the first to try it. Thelonious Monk, one of my favourite piano players, famously kept a cow named Jellyroll as a pet & let it wander around his apartment. You can see it on the cover of his Underground album.

someone i know once felt sorry for the sheep in the field by the house when i was out. said they looked hungry.

when i got home i saw a heap of rice crispies in the field... she had taken them out into the field in a plastic bag and there was a stampede to get to her.
she retreated fast!
but they did not eat the rice crispies.

to get sheep to run to you especially at this time of year, just rattle a plastic bag and prepare to run,,,,probably the same for cows..

Have you ever picked grass and handed it to a cow, and the cow is stood there like -_- wow thanks you've really outdone yourself, thank you sooo much, I so appreciate not having to bend my head 2 feet down for these particular few blades of grass stupid human

Yep, cows will eat anything. Well mostly anything. I had a pet cow for 13.5 years, she had lots of favourite food. She liked jelly, biscuits, chocolate, chocolate moose, birthday cake, cheese, sandwiches, especially jam sandwiches, crisps, cornflakes and porridge and basically anything nice. Off the top of my head the only things she didn't like were cheap rich tea biscuits (seriously! Used to buy the cheap ones in dunnes, she liked them fine. Ran out, gave her my dads hobnobs for a few days, then went back to giving her rich teas and she would spit them out) carrots, and stuffing (I think the onion in it).

The only people food she wouldn't have got would have obviously been meat but I'm sure she'd have eaten that too. She also loved strawberry complan, after been given it when she was a baby as she was sick, she'd get some occasionally over the next 13 years , and I think that was her favourite treat ever.

Anything me or my dad would be eating, (say a bar of chocolate) shed be reaching back sticking her big face into our hands looking for her share. Even with just one square of chocolate, she'd be happy. Weird! I might have pics of her eating stuff on my phone, I will look.

Cows are the best pets.


Edit: here she is about to have her breakfast.

It depends on whether they are working class cows.

cows don't live in council houses, so unlikely.

They didn't follow you around because of the meanies, they followed you around because they're nosy, sinister feckers. Never underestimate a cow, I knew a lad who once turned his back on a posse of cows. Once being the operative word.

I think cows are adorable to ..... in my slow cooker.

I used to feed them biscuits when I was little. Digestives were the preferred choice!

Were you smoking weed on your walk with pooch?

Slicemeister

What else do you think they're doing at the window at the drive through OP? They're as slow as fluck to order!

Clever marketing by McDonalds using that big yellow M on their drive thru's though...
