I lived with my grandparents on a farm. The day pasture was on the other side of the road. Every morning, after milking, we would drive the cows across the road to the day pasture, then drive them back across the road to the barn for afternoon milking.
I used to imagine a society of cattle, called "The American Cow-de-Dow", that all the cows belonged to. Some day, there would be a bridge arching over the road, so we wouln't have to stop cars when the cows crossed. I can still see it in my mind's eye.
At first, the pigs and chickens had their own orginizations, the Pig-de-Dow, (I forget what society the chickens belonged to), but eventually, they became members of the Cow-de-dow. Their were also international branches, the English Cow-de-Dow, etc.
Can you imagine the conventions?
