Does such a thing exist?

brettw22

Ok, so in my many trips across the midwest, something has struck my curiousity and I cannot seem to find an answer to this.

I know that there are white/black cows, white/brown cows, all brown cows, and all black cows. What I would like to know is why I haven't ever seen a black/brown cow. This seems entirely logical that it could be something that would exist, but in the thousands of miles I've traveled I have yet to see this elusive beast.

What's the deal on why there are no black/brown cows?

I'm sure there are a few black cows covered in **** somewhere up here.

That's a good question. Kinda wondered about that myself.

I cannot take any spoken word as to the validity of my question. I need visual proof that such an anomoly exists.

And hearing, thank you for that, but I'm looking for a black/brown cow.....no white in the mix (though technically a black/brown/white is just as unique).

Brett, if you go back to posting some nice hotness in the Joy thread you won't have to worry about the color of cows!

Well, there is a black and brown cow in Welsh folklore. It's a magical cow called the "Fuwch Frech".
From the "Encyclopedia Mythica":

"The Fuwch Frech is a magic cow, brindled black and brown. When a person is in great need, she will suddenly appear to fill the largest milk pail and then vanish. She seems to belong to fairies. One man said that after she visited him he heard a voice call her, and saw the cow disappear into a lake.


Also, from the "Mystical World Wide Web":

According to Welsh folklore, a freckled cow named 'Y Fuwch Frech' became a victim of witchcraft in a place called Cerrigydrugion. She grazed on Hiraethog Mountain and was known for supplying a healthy yield to anyone in need of milk. Witches were believed to be the dreaded enemy of cattle and it was said that a witch milked her not into a bucket but into a sieve. The witch was determined to have all the milk and so continued to draw milk until the cow was driven to madness. As a result she drowned herself in Llyn Dau Ychen. The witch had achieved her goal.
The name 'Fairy Cattle' is believed to have originated from ancient times when wild cattle wandered Britain. Many of the stories are recalled in Welsh folklore and tell of cattle that produced plentiful milk supplies for anyone who was in need of sustenance. Those who tried to capture one of the cattle were often thwarted and thankfully so, as it was also believed that the only reason the cattle would no longer give milk would be due to humankind growing greedy. Folklore tells of a butcher who tried to slaughter a cow but as he raised his hand the whole arm became paralysed. A person called the 'green lady' came to the cow's rescue and the animal escaped to the waters of Llyn Bafrog, and the cow swam away never to be seen in the community again.


And from the WFRM News archives of 05/26/06 (Kane County, Pennsylvania):

"Troopers here are also investigating some cattle rustling going on in the Harrison Valley area. On May 10th or 11th, someone took a black and brown cow from a pasture on the William Vanetten farm located along Whites Corners Road. The cow was valued at $800. Then, Tuesday night or early Wednesday, thieves entered barns owned by Calvin McCutcheon on the Harrison Fox Hill road and Thomas Kibbe on the Iva Jen Road and removed some calves. Two of them were black and white and one was all black. They are valued at a total of $1900 and anyone who can provide police with information is asked to call the local barracks at 274-8690"


They say a picture is worth a thousand words; couldn't find a picture, so I posted a thousand words instead.

Not quite what you want, but she's all yours for only $1,500

Cinnamon Stick is a very flashy tri-colored cow. She is a good mother and an excellent milk producer. She passes this flashy color on to her calves, all of whom so far have been tri-colored.
