Irish Cows

How do I know they're Irish cows. Well, they moo with a lovely Irish lilt... and I shot this from Magheracross Viewpoint on the Antrim Coast of Northern Ireland. I think about these cows this time of year because I bake for the holidays. Kerrygold Irish Butter is always a favorite for baking because it has a higher fat content than typical American butter. That provides a greater emulsion effect that is especially noticeable in cookies. These are dairy cows... I often imagine these two ladies might have contributed to my baking.

 

Commercials here in America tell us that "Happy cows are California cows." Just look at that lush green of the Emerald Isle, though... I believe these cows to be every bit as contented as any in California. I'm not sure they're as funny, however: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Up880afV_qs&feature=player_em...
