That's Some Cow

A fellar wouldn't need too many cows like this:

For the fourth time, an Arkansas cow has given birth to triplets -- and it's the ninth time she has given birth to more than one calf at a time.

The Charolais-mix cow named Faith has given birth to 22 calves in nine pregnancies -- each of them multiples.

I'd seen this story the other day, but didn't notice until this morning.....I know these people. Heck, I used to live in Harriet, and take my kids swimming every day on the cow owner's property. Mrs. Ewing is a super nice lady, I can attest. Even if she's not from around there.

And I've known Doc Blair, the veterinarian cited, since I was a kid. We've sons the same age as well....both in the military. His boy is an Air Force pilot. It's really strange to think of a goofy kid I've known since he was in kindergarten flying a ba-jillion dollar plane on bombing runs and re-supply missions.

I'm not getting old, I'm maturing gracefully like a fine wine.
