Here is the newest twist on being a Gentleman Farmer:

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!

Yes, an English speaking cow would be hilarious..!

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 ...

haha, that is fantastic

I will discuss it with my colleagues, maybe we can do it together or so, it's a lot of cheese!

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.

Has anyone done this or explored this idea

The idea is spreading fast.

Now we have Hertz Rent A Pig !

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

....and, what would you do at the end of the rental period ?

invite my friends over for dinner : )

Guess in this case rental would be wrong term

borrow the beef

Now off to search for a where's the beef thread

Is it like one of those "Lease a Third World child" deals? Where you pay them 3$ a month and they fix your shoes?

Not really because with the child scheme you get a tax deduction; although you do get updates about the cow + pics. 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.
