On my way home from school, I pass a field with my favorite snack. Well....maybe not exactly! These cows are affectionately known as "oreos' because of their similar coloring. I had never seen them until I moved to New England, and still marvel each time I do. They are actually Belted Galloways, a hardy Scottish breed of beef cows. Real cattle fanciers refer to them as 'belties', and they were imported to the USA around the 1950's. To be a true beltie, they have to be solid black with the single white band around their middles....no other white spots anywhere.



The cool thing is, these oreos come with their own milk!
Who can resist an oreo.....
