Beef producers continued to expand the breeding herd for the second year. Beef cow numbers increased by 1 percent during 2005 after a small rise in 2004. The total number of cows increased by 338,000 head and the increase was concentrated in the western Corn Belt, where Missouri increased by 115,000 cows and Iowa by 40,000. (Quote by - Chris Hurt)

The current expansion is expected to extend until around 2010, with the largest beef production on this cycle coming in 2010 to 2012. This likely means several more years of favorable prices as cow slaughter remains low and heifer retention high. (Quote by - Chris Hurt)

cash cow, and cash cows shouldn't be what's driving law enforcement. (Quote by - D. Miller)

I guess I just look at it as I don't have to go out there and feed my cows and load hay every morning. I'm still going to be out there moving fence every day, but there's a difference--you don't have to harvest it, put it in the bin, take it out, run it through the grinder, then feed it to them. All you do is move fence. I'm just letting the cows go get it. (Quote by - Bruce Carney)

The major disappointment was that no deal was announced, because it reflects that it's more difficult than the market thought, that the process may take longer or that the price won't be as high. The cash cows aren't the cash cows people expected and a buyer basically doesn't have to have it. (Quote by - Bob Pooler)

To my mind, the only possible pet is a cow. Cows love you. . . . They will listen to your problems and never ask a thing in return. They will be your friends forever. And when you get tired of them, you can kill and eat them. Perfect. (Quote by - Bill Bryson)

The Cows have continued to stay popular with our audiences. They are endearing personalities that are staunch supporters of chicken, and our customers not only find them humorous, but they enjoy watching to see what they might say or do. You never know where the Cows might show up next. (Quote by - Steve Robinson)

I guess cows aren't into the four food groups, especially when they are two of them. (Quote by - Anthony Clark)

A publisher who writes is like a cow in a milk bar. (Quote by - Arthur Koestler)

We had chores to do - cleaning the chicken coop, feeding the horses, milking the cows. That's where I learned how to milk a cow. We used to have a big pump in the yard - the best water I ever tasted in my life. It had such a pleasant taste. (Quote by - Roxie Satterwhite)

The consumer segment is a cash-cow business. The cable companies threaten that cash cow. If the Bells did nothing, in all likelihood that cow would be slaughtered. (Quote by - Jeffrey Halpern)

The cow is of the bovine ilk; One end is moo, the other, milk. (Quote by - Ogden Nash)

I think the press, which arguably was cowed by the (Bush) administration in the run-up to the war with Iraq, was certainly not cowed in covering the aftermath of Katrina. (Quote by - Ken Auletta)

Just so many times before, we've had a lead in the bottom of the seventh and then not come away with the win. I mean, holy cow, their pinch hitter comes up with two outs and two strikes and slaps an outside fastball by the second baseman, and you go holy cow again. I mean, you think, what do we have to do to win?. (Quote by - Vance Arnold)

The Moo-cow-moo's got a tail like a rope En it's ravelled down where it grows, En it's just like feeling a piece of soap All over the moo-cow's nose. (Quote by - Edmund Vance Cooke)
