Cow Appreciation Day (Today, July 15th)
Our appreciation for cows can be expressed in many ways. Go out and give a cow a big hug and/or a kiss. Have an ice cold glass of milk or fire up the grill, and cook some burgers. Don’t forget to get your fill of cheese. Sorry, goat cheese is not allowed today.
