In Switzerland, cows spend their summers grazing in the high meadows, then descend to the valleys at the end of the season. However, there are always a few cows who become injured or suffer a strain, so dairy farmers call in the helicopters. This year, ten cows needed a lift part of the way down the mountain. They didn't seem to mind the flight at all. A word to the wise: if you ever see a flying cow, helicopter or not, don't stand directly below it. (via Fark)
Alien abduction practice!
ReplyDeleteI spent 2-3 weeks in Switzerland in each of 3 different years, and the sound of the cowbells is one of my favorites I ever recorded. We stayed in Wengen next to a pasture with about 25 cows and calves, and it was delightful. Thanks for the reminder!
ReplyDeleteThe sound of a cowbell high in the sky would be quite the wonder.
ReplyDeleteIf I was a cow I'd pretend to be injured just to get the free helicopter ride.
