This is weird ... Panda cow.

I wonder how many people will try to buy it.

CAMPION, Colo. -- A rare miniature cow with markings similar to a panda bear was born on a farm in northern Colorado.
The so-called "panda cow" born in Larimer County is thought to be one of only about 24 in the world.
The (Loveland) Reporter-Herald reports the male calf named Ben was born Friday morning. His mother is a Lowline Angus cow.
Farmer Chris Jessen raises miniature cattle and also owns a miniature kangaroo on his hobby farm.
The miniature panda cow is the result of genetic manipulation. A white belt encircles the animal's midsection, and the cow has a white face with black ovals around the eyes, giving it a panda-like appearance.
The mini-cattle are bred solely as pets. Jessen says panda calves can sell for $30,000

No such thing as a male cow. That is a miniature panda BULL.

Jeez, that must be the same "jounalist" that talks about FLOORS in BOATS!!

Looks like a Dutch Belted/Lakenvelder dairy breed to me

Re: This is weird ... Panda cow.

Aren't miniatures developed by "down breeding", where the scrawniest is the best breeder, instead of the biggest? Kind of goes against nature.

Once we start raising "lap cattle", small enough to sit and watch TV with us, as a civilization, we are indeed doomed.

Fortunately, cows are too stupid to house train....

Reminds me of a Belted Galloway.......... Yes, I have about 200 bovine neighbors!!! I do know that the $30,000 variety makes the same hamburger as a $25 bull calf born on a Dairy Farm.

Saw this same article also, in our local Sunday paper. I figured this "news" story was put out there as a free advertisement.

Would not be a bit surprised if that farmer's phone, is ringing off the hook now, with people willing to shell out $$$, for one of these.

They are the perfect size to fit on a grill.

Oh c'mon, that's a cute critter right there. I'd even feed it a hamburger.
