“We have to eat them to save them.”
Sandy Lerner
In Maine on our hiking trip we saw some Belted Galloway Cows and were delighted with the way they look. I did some research on them and found the Belted Galloway Society. In their September newsletter they reported on a blind tasting of beef from heritage cows: “On June 20, 2008, approximately 70 food professionals, chefs, food writers, and food connoisseurs gathered at Ayrshire Farm in Upperville, VA, to participate in a blind-tasting which compared beef from eight rare heritage breeds and two widely available breeds of cattle.” You can read the results here (scroll down for the article)
Some of you will be pleased to know that you can join the society and can buy “Oreo Cow” art. I bought the post cards.
Learning that there are breeds of cows we never heard of and then that there are societies trying to save them is an example of what I like about traveling. If you keep your eyes open there are so many amazing things to learn.
