Identity crisis

ACCORDING to your backpage worldapart column (May 13), “a Friesian bullock is set to break records as Britain’s tallest cow”.

The “cow towers over other cattle in his herd”.

If these facts can be verified we are witnessing a biological, if not a moral, revolution. This unfortunate animal must surely have a crisis of sexual identity. There may be another practical problem as well for the hapeless beast, as your report goes on to say his owner “has been unable to find a cow even near his height”. But then if he/she/it is a bullock, I guess that problem does not really arise.
