Rumination and other activities

Here are a few videos from the Northwest Washington Fair last week.

1. A Hereford chewing its cud:

2. An Angus (I think) chewing its cud:

3. A goat chewing its cud:

4. A pig either loving or hating the bath it's getting from its owner:

I told my sister, who was making similar recordings, "This is how you know we're city kids, because we want to make movies of cows chewing their cud and pigs squealing."

"City kids," is a remark my dad (who was raised on a farm) will sometimes make when our attitude toward animals is excessively anthropomorphic.
