Just what the world needs, an edible compass ;)

[Ric]

I wonder if they will migrate north for the winter if we let them out.:whistle:

[AstralTraveller]

So what would they do in the absence of a magnetic field? Obviously we will have to send a herd to Mars or Venus to find out.:D

[sheeny]

Horses and donkeys are magnetic too!

Ever noticed when they're resting they'll stand side by side but head to tail. Everyone thinks this is a natural instinct to prevent predators from sneaking up on them, now we can finally see it's just their in built compass needles lining up N to S!:P

:lol:

So when will they take a cow up to the ISS to reasearch the Earth's outer magnetic field?:P

This is a worry ving ...your avatar by my computer ..has you pointing
east/ west.. Sadly I think you might be a broken cow :P..and as such
I think you should consider the rest of the global herd and volunteer for
beef production to keep the genes pure :)
