Fat Minis

Holy Cow.

Driving around, I passed a field of little cattle. Some blacks, most likely Dexter, and some little black belteds, don't know what they were.

Those cattle looked like the old paintings of the trophy hogs, with their fat bellies dragging on the ground and completely round butterball bodies. I'm surprised they could see with the fat poofed out around their eyes.

Newbies, that borders on animal cruelty. That is some serious mismanagement when your cattle look like that.

Maybe they were snorter dwarves? I see those go for big bucks at the exotic auction to people that dont know better

I doubt they were snorter dwarves. Those were eliminated last century. Most likely they are feshly on good pasture or hay and have gotten a case of "hay belly" from overeating. That blows up their bellies.

They could also be fat, but you'd have to look closer to tell that.

The smaller belted cattle seem to have a tendency to be rotund. I've passed a lot of them along the highway and they all look well filled out. It could have something to do with how they graze, eating to excess before stopping to cud.
