A few weeks back I went out for a bike ride and I passed a small farm where they raise cows for beef cattle. There were a couple of pickup trucks pulled up at this one farm field nearby the barn. There was a cattle trailer and the farmer had just let a bull into the field with the heifers. The farmer was together with another person sitting back enjoying a beer and watching the bull mount the cows.

It's kind of an interesting experience for a non-farm kid to watch cattle breed. These a big animals and they have big masculine parts. A bull literally climbs onto the heifer and inserts a massive male part into the cow to breed it. It's quite an impressive process that's a bit like dogs breeding, minus the massive courtship routine or the rolling around. These animals literally just hop upon one and another.

While fewer and fewer farms allow their stock to have natural sex like this to prevent injury to the heifers, it was a pretty interesting process to watch. Artificial insemination seems so much more controlled but it denies the natural process of these animals, and is expensive for marginal farmers that aren't working with prised animals with a documented linage.

These kind of things are still pretty commonplace on small farms but not so much on larger dairy operations. Yet, to most of us who have never seen a cow breed it's an pretty impressive process. It's not particularly disgusting or kinky, it's just natural. Farm life reminds us that we ultimately aren't that much different then the bulls screwing the cows..
