Do cows sunburn???????

Saturday, June 12, 2004 by teddybearcholla | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

This is a strange question for the weekend, but do holstein cows sunburn ? I know white dogs do. I see a lot of the cows out in the sun here with no shade, and I was just wondering......

Hmm. I don't think so. The cows sit in the shade too.

The answer could come down to definitions as some will say that only pigs get sunburn in the same way as humans. However this agricultural site says that yes, they most definitely do:-

I and fellow BBites are now dying to know what exactly you intend to do with this knowledge

a) go on to win the pub quiz

run around the field distributing parasols and sun protection

c) consider them slow-roasted and cover them with relish and a cob

Don't hold me to this, but I have been told by some fairly reliable sources, that the only animal besides humans that can sunburn are pigs.

If this is true then your cows are safe.

P.S.

Although they may not sunburn, they could quite possibly tan. Look on this as one less step down the line in the boot/leather jacket making process.

" run around the field distributing parasols and sun protection"

But it was a question I really wished to know the answer too, as here in Az. there is very little shade, unless supplied by the farmer, which is not always the case!

Thanks for the swift response, I will start collecting parasols to distribute to the unfortunate fellows!


Is that where chocolate milk comes from?"
Wouldn't that be the strawberry flavor milk?????????

For what its worth in the context of both the root question remains the same -

"There is further the allusion to the idea of trying to count sheep as an aid to sleep. Are androids human? Would they resort to the same tricks when insomniac? But would their sheep be electric sheep rather than real? Would replicant call to replicant?"
