And a rooster? Can I get it processed (plucked, gutted, and in a bag ready for a pot)
This is a terrible idea and perpetuates outdated stereotypes of Iowans for a cheap laugh. Our specialty is pigs, not cows.
Who's up for a road trip from the Bay Area? Bonus points if you have a livestock trailer or something to tow it with. Somehow I don't think my Prius will cut it...
Our second stereotype of the thread!
Wait, what type of cow we talking here? Jersey, Guernsey, Holstein, Angus? Male or Female? How old? Sorry, former dairy kid OCD kicking in from a state that has more cows than there are Iowans. And a rooster? Can I get it processed (plucked, gutted, and in a bag ready for a pot)
Also anyone know if butchering services are included?

The antiquity argument has its problems. There has been a long history of many things that we don't do anymore. A better argument would be that the animal doesn't care (because it is an animal).
I'm sure the animal doesn't care about specifically being a prize. I'm sure he/she cares about the care that follows being treated as an object.

And there are still a few properties that have been owned by the same family for longer than the modern livestock laws have been on the books, and thus they are permitted to keep sundry animals. I rather enjoy the llamas. :-)

There has been a lot of commotion around the Cedar Rapids, Iowa area for the past few years, with a legal motion to allow a modest number of suburban chickens on residential personal property being repeatedly brought up for discussion.
