When I first read about this new breed of cow, I thought it was a joke. The Mini-Cow is in fact a new invention that brings fresh milk to the table every morning.
For between $400 and $4,000, people can purchase a miniature pet cow that is approximately the size of a German Shepherd. Giving 16 pints of milk a day, the Mini-Cow is supposedly free of artificial growth hormones.
I think I’d rather just buy my milk at the grocery store.
