Do cows sunburn???????

This is a strange question for the weekend, but do holstein cows sunburn ? I know white dogs do. I see a lot of the cows out in the sun here with no shade, and I was just wondering......

the link from FR and SJ,
"If the animals are quiet and cooperative, sunscreen can be applied liberally and frequently to exposed areas of skin in sunny weather. " I still think I'll opt for the pastel colored parasols!


"ok, so what part do Cows play in their getting Sun Burn ? " I don't think the cows play any part in the androids getting sunburned!

Well if cows are out in the harsh weather all day, why must we always run for cover from the rain when wearing a leather jacket? And further, why must we water proof our leather jackets? I don't see cows shrinking from the rain! Unless someone out there is running around spraying cows with water proofing and I wasn't aware of it!

I think you'd actually have to "wear the cow" if yu do not want to spray that waterproofing stuff on it

Yes. Cattle do sunburn. However the hair is usually very thick and provides a decent sunscreen. All organic forms of life can get sunburned. >

Thank you Firedogs Ron for promptly clearing up this absolutly ludicrous "only pigs and people sunburn" debate going on here. I would like to also add that other animals such as cows, horses, dogs, cats, etc.. can and do get skin cancer also.

This ludicrous debate as you call it never took place - the myth was both acknowledged and dealt with in #4 in such a way as to gently move past it, this was then acknowledged by the original poster in #7 and after a bit of fun finally taken into wincustomizes own twilight zone by Jafo. It has since been played with and added too in various ways.

Indeed I did Mrs Footsie, the perils of sailing on the good ship 'Righteous Indignation'. Gonna have to create a get of Jafo free card to counteract his spell checker if this continues.
