    About Cows



    My first venture into the barnyard sold over 60,000 copies worldwide. It's a montage, a compendium, a collection of cow humor, cow miscellany and more than you ever wanted to learn about cows...inside and out. A reviewer for The Chicago Tribune said, "What Rath doesn't know about cows is not worth knowing."

    Trivia includes:
    * The daily jaw movements of a cow average 41,360.
    * There are 340 squirts in a pail of milk.
    * The average cow produces 30 pounds of urine and 65 pounds of feces daily. At least 15 tons of waste are produced per cow per year.

    NOTE: The grapevine hints a new, revised edition of this book may be available soon. Moo! Stay Tuned!
