I figure I may need some proof for those skeptics out there who are want to believe my drunken cow stories, so I went out to document the bovine debauchery firsthand. Below you can see our assistant winemaker, Steve, dumping a wheelbarrow-full of fermented grape skins in the field. What is more noticeable, however, is the clear back-end view of every cow in that field. Normally, any human in their midst is front and center, because they have a deep, deep distrust of our species (can you blame them?). If I as much as tiptoe next to the fence, every single one of them is staring at me in a matter of six seconds. And I only say six because some of them are a bit "slower" than the rest, god bless them. But during wine making season, I could be on fire, screaming like a maniac, and they would still turn their asses to me.
Below, you can see the actual proof of what I write. That purple mound can be no other than fermented grape skins. There are more cows waiting in the wings, but they have to head-butt these five formidable females out of the way before they can partake in the spoils. And that takes guts, no matter what your species.
Based on his for-the-moment companion's cavalier tongue language, so did she. What an opportunist. |
