I joined the 365-day Journal challenge for 2022 and here is my ‘Day 32’.
February 1, 2022, Journal Entry:
I had to go to town yesterday to the local post office and on my drive through the country I see ranches and farms. These three cows were resting near the farm fence in the sunshine, so I stopped to take photographs. They couldn’t care less that I was at the fence but did give a curious look. The middle cow is a Charolais breed and the other two are Texas Longhorns and boy, do they have big horns! They have sweet faces too. I uploaded the photographs and chose this one to edit this morning and gave it a slight painterly style with a mild canvas texture. I made a pun with the Three Musketeers - Three MusCowteers.
The Texas longhorn is known for their horns that can grow as long as 5 feet or more. They are descended from the first cattle to America and can have diverse colors and these two, one laying down and the other in the back.
Charolais is a French breed of taurine beef type and sometimes they are cross bred with Angus and Hereford cattle. Purebreds are creamy white, so I believe this particular cow in the middle is a crossbreed since it has red-rusty brown coloring but the classic face of a Charolais.
