| | | Cow Rental!
Here is the newest twist on being a Gentleman Farmer: http://www.kuhleasing.ch/
And yes, I have a friend that has leased a girly (for a year) that will be summering in the Alp Oberallmend. Isn't she pretty?
If anyone is interested, I was told they speak english.
It's hilarious and a very clever idea!

Well I am a bit disappointed now, as it isn't really the cow I could actually have, but only the cheese which will be produced from the milk this cow will give. I don't see the point of this cow leasing ...

| | | Rent a cow?
I liked the idea of renting a cow,as part of a scheme rather than approaching some random farmer and asking for one of his cows
So I googled and found a blog and a link,where one rents a cow and gets a portion of the cheese produced from the milk. http://www.kuhleasing.ch/index.html
Has anyone done this or explored this idea |

Guess I need to learn how to use the search better  thanks Mod's for moving the question.
Any one know of a scheme where you could actually get beef instead of cheese |

Oh yeah, you can even visit it.
Not very pc for the cow though, being put on show and all. I feel bad for it.
