Speaking of bovine mental health, has anyone else seen the HBO film "Temple Grandin"? Clare Danes should be a hands down choice for an Emmy as Best Actress in a made for TV film. And the real Ms Grandin is a fascinating individual, a high functioning autistic whose "disability" actually defined her academic career in behavioral research of cattle.

I give this biopic my highest recommendation.

I do believe she was on NPR.

I watched it a half dozen times, fascinating character.

Oh thank you thank you thank you. I will have to see this. I fell in love with Claire Danes (not in a lesbian way) when she was on My So-called Life, and thought she was wonderful in The Rainmaker.

I saw that film recently for the first time. It gave more background of her personal journey than I was knew before, and was, I agree, wonderfully acted. I used a couple of her techniques described in Animals in Translation to work with our longhorn and calf. People thought I was a bit odd for sitting in the pasture, but those animals were as curious as predicted and gentled quickly. (Longhorns are not an aggressive breed to start with, and I am not quite experienced enough to do the same with a big herd of some other breeds, admit!)

The only movies I've seen with Claire Danes are "Romeo and Juliet" and "Shopgirl". She's ethereal in both of them.

What's their policy on tipping?

xoxoxoBruce · 07-25-2010, 10:12 AM

Cow tipping is an urban myth.

Elspode · 07-25-2010, 03:45 PM

Bruce is right. Cows rarely give so much as adequate table service these days, and therefore get virtually no gratuities.

Now that is just cute

What if we attached leather-cutting razors to one brush, and covered another, in meat rub, which was then placed next to the first?

Would we have a self-preparing cow, ready for the BBQ?
