HOW COW'S HELP US..

Cows are our life. They give us milk and blood and some times meat and hide to hear. Their our wealth we do not have money; we have cows! The more cows somebody has the wealthier he is. The more cows a man has the more respect he has.We have three criteria for judging a cow. Number one is the color. is white with a lot of black spots, Number two is the horn. We like a male cow to have big, even horns. And number three is the personality of a cow. a good cow is always in front of the herd. If a cow is always behind all the other cows. He is considered a good cow. We do not care about heavy a cow is. Never, just the beauty of the color, the size of its horns, and how active it is. We name all our cows like a person. Our cows do not die at old age we either sell it or we butcher it. The only exception is a blessed cow. It happened twice when my brother took his cows out in the morning that bull got in front of the rest of the cows and refused to move. He refused to move until my brother took his cows in a different direction from thr rest of the village herd. The first time it happened, my brother didn't understand what the cow was up to, but he is smart, he knows that sometimes cows can have a sense of danger, an instinct. So he went the direction the bull wanted to go. And both of those days riders-men with guns-attacked the rest of the village herd. But my brothers cows where safe. That kind of bull is a great blessing. You never can sell one like that. When it gets too old, perhaps 20 or so years old, you can slaughter it in a special ritual your rope, the corral that surrounds that cows at night. Only your family is allowed to eat the meat from that blessed cow. No one else. No one else but a member of your family is alloewed to sleep on its hide too.
