- parentheseus 4y agoAdvice/Accounts on how to befriend crows has been submitted here in the past, but there hasn't been anything regarding cows, unfortunately. https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&query=Befriend%20crows%20&sort=byPopularity&type=story https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...

They like licking hands and under-the-chin or cheek scritches; move slowly and talk, and if they're skeptical try crouching to make yourself smaller. (but don't make mothers suspect you're after their calves!) Anyone know about bison?
- Cupertino95014 4y agoUnless they're domestic bison, it's probably illegal to approach them. And unwise.
- IntrepidWorm 4y agoOddly enough, cows seem to enjoy big band and jazz. https://youtu.be/lXKDu6cdXLI https://youtu.be/lXKDu6cdXLI Now that's some cultured dairy!
- tanseydavid 4y agoCows seem to be mesmerized by almost any sort of music.
- geocrasher 4y agoOh man, cows are awesome. They're smart, lovable, and even playful. And when they reach a certain age, they're even edible. What's not to love?
- 082349872349872 4y agoFor milk cattle, depending upon gender, that age may be sooner rather than later. cf milanesa/schnitzel/chicken fried steak. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiener_schnitzel https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiener_schnitzel

- baeaz 4y agoI was under the impression that, like chicken, cows became less edible as time passed?
- Cupertino95014 4y agoI don't think his comment meant "edibility rises linearly with age." I think it meant "it reaches a peak" and implicitly "and then declines from there."
- geocrasher 4y agoExactly.
- Lio 4y agoThere's only one way to get to the bottom of this... we're going to have to have eat a lot of crows. No arguments now, this is science damn it!
- Cupertino95014 4y agoHe said "cows" not "crows." Although you can open up a new branch of Science.
