Mooing is Serious Business

Sadie is the love of my life at the sanctuary. She's been through so much and I've spent so much time regaining her trust. What once used to be a long-distance relationship now involves extensive grooming sessions and back massages (she grooms me, I massage her back). She's yelling at another cow in this photo.

I should add a fun fact: Ruminants, like cattle, don't have upper teeth. They have a set of lower teeth. What they do have up on top is a really rough-and-tumble dental pad that's tough enough to crush food with.
Thank you-moo!
