Cows eat herring for new milk

Some landlocked Canadian cows are enjoying a little seafood with their hay and grain so they can produce a new kind of milk being touted for its benefits for the brain, eyes and nerves.

The milk, produced by herring-fed cows in Ontario, provides a fatty acid also common in salmon, trout and mackerel to diets of people who don't eat enough fish, said Larry Milligan, a researcher at the University of Guelph, which developed the milk.

Yum-herring milk, why not just feed the cows chocolate?

Is this a good idea to feed cows fish flesh?

1. Haven't you noticed

...how happy and well-fed these cows seem as they swim their way back to the sandy shore?

C'mon, they're not eating seaweed out there.

2. Alas, the Sea Cow is no more

Land lubber bovines are a poor substitute as they "pasture in the Pacific."

See the Real Sea Cow and mourn it long time passing:
