This Is So Wrong

This is so wrong in so many ways that my farmer-boy-mind simply overloads, kicks off , and needs to be re-booted.



OK we have had miniature horses for many many years. Yes they are "so cute". Also we have had miniature (re: midget or: P.C. : Small People) Cowboys for some time as well. See the movie Tiny Town.



But this is too much. I'm sorry. It is just over the line



Wasn't enough that they downsized the burger, did they have to downsize the beef?



OK so on the average a half size cow gives 65% of the beef of a regulation size cow but only eat half as much food, takes up half as much space, and gives out half as much methane in farts. So two mini-steers equal 130% in beef production as do normal steers. The math I understand.


I'm sorry but the cow light, steak light, burger light stuff is messing with my western sense of correctness. Imagine next time you wander into Cattleman's Restaurant in OKC and you order the t-bone steak and they say "mini or regular"?
OK, I guess I'll get me a Miller Draft 64 and go out and get on my sorrel pony "half-pint" and mosey out to the back 20 and count my beeves, twice.
