Russian cows get new feed: marijuana

Santa Says, 'Be Sweet to Animals—Don't Wear Them'

'I don’t know what the milk will be like after this,' drug agency officer says

MOSCOW - Russia’s long winter will just fly by for a herd of Russian cows which, a newspaper reported on Tuesday, will be fed confiscated marijuana over the cold months.
Drug workers said they adopted the unusual form of animal husbandry after they were forced to destroy the sunflowers and maize crops that the 40 ton of marijuana had been planted among, Novye Izvestia daily reported.
“There is simply no other way out. You see, the fields are planted with feed crops and if we remove it all the cows will have nothing to eat,” a Federal Drugs Control Service spokeswoman for the Urals region of Sverdlovsk told the paper. “I don’t know what the milk will be like after this.”

Drug use in Russia took off with the decline of the Soviet Union and police have been fighting drug smugglers — often shipping heroin from Afghanistan — for years.
Such large hauls are relatively common, although they are normally burned.

I LOVE Cows

Oreo cookie cows? Yes, there are "belted" bovines out there (you're not seeing things!). What kind of belted cows are there? According to the "A Field Guild to Cows" there are several possibilities. One is the Dutch Belted. These bovines are relatively small in stature (for a cow) and have a smooth coat. They are black on both ends and have a white belt around the middle that is at least 6" wide. Another possibility is a belted Galloway (not all Galloways are belted). They can be brownish black, red or dun. They are stockily built and in the winter are shaggy. Finally, Welsh Blacks and Swiss Browns can be belted, but these are rarer.
