Happy Cows

There are commercials on TV which proclaim that happy cows come from California. Now I do not have any direct evidence of the mental state of California cows, but I DO know about Wisconsin cows - - - and they are not only HAPPY but contented as well.

And what bovine wouldn't be content grazing on the grass of these rolling hills - - -


Living in a barn like this - - -


Or better yet, and more traditionally, like this!?!? And you know, from all those happy contented cows comes the BEST dairy products on the planet!!!


This particular image of a contented milk-producer graces one of the best old fashioned dairies left in the country - - -


Found right here in downtown Hayward.

Oh the memories - - - this dairy used to deliver milk TO OUR DOOR in glass bottles with cardboard caps on them. When dad stopped by to pay our monthly bill, we LOVED to go with him in the hopes that we could wrangle an ice cream cone or a quart of chocolate milk.

Yep - - - those happy cows made for some delighted kids!!!
