Halloween Tombstones Funny

Almost an object lesson: males and females in the farm

We went to the Agricultural Show at the Porte de Versailles . It was the first time with the Goblin. He had already seen cows on the farm of our friends but now the excitement was at its height between the world, heat, noise and multiple visual stimuli (tactile).

He was bothered by the smell . No, but a real small city, while valuable, quite a contrast to my nostrils like those smells of earth, hay, straw and fur! And yet nothing at all, the smell of leather, fur, farm smells, yes, but no smell of excrement ... Have you seen the beautiful clean the rear heifers and bulls, collect dung, the straw disintegrated after lightning emissions of urine.
And then a few seconds later, it was the cries of joy and haste to move from stand to stand.
How wonderful to discover that under generic names, cows for cattle, pigs to pigs, sheep for sheep and ducks and other fowls, animals of different sizes and gaits distinct even within the same species . The
stature, musculature, backbones, colors, coats, furs: different breeds.

* source breeds bulls

* source breeds of cows

* source breeds of pigs

We re-sensitized to the names of animals the farm and farmyard to go beyond their vernacular name and generic meat (I hear about it in a future post!). Animals known or almost (like a velociraptor boyfriend) and small pig tails, with large black spots (or pigs "black ass"?).

We visited the salon with a guiding idea, a question came in the morning the animals are Are asexual? Yes, yes, the kid thought that we, humans were the only ones to have sex. We had explained to him what sex had two important functions: as genital organs (of reproduction) and outlet nearby (urinary) . And we discussed that if the animals ate, they had to urinate and defecate well ( see note). And if we see little that they gave their birth (see note ) and a male and female created them.

Cow: Beef, bull, cow, calf (beef for meat) Mouton
(for meat): ram, ewe, lamb
