The Perfect Cow: Karlie
You want a cow that’s skinny and kind of tall, like a model. That means her body is efficient at producing milk. It’s not wasting energy on making fat stores.
The udders matter, too, in breeding dairy cows. You want udders that don’t sag and are well-attached. That means they’ll survive years of milking and they won’t be prone to getting lots of bacteria on them because they’re dragging around the barn.
You wouldn’t change a thing about Karlie’s udders.
You also want a perfect backside. Karlie’s hip bones are well above her “pins”, which are the butt bones. That makes it easier for her to birth calves.
Karlie starts at $170,000, nicely equipped.

Butthole Surfers frontman Gibby Haynes teamed up with Jack White’s boutique record label, Third Man Records to release the Gibby Haynes Blue Series 7″ Single.  The single is a extremely special as it is pressed on old medical x-rays, called flexi discs or Roentgenizdat records. Pressing records on x-rays emerged in the Soviet Union after World War II as a way to distribute jazz and punk rock music when Stalin tried to remove every aspect of American culture. X-rays were a cheap and reliable material in the Soviet-era for creating records and they came ready with interesting images.  Apparently it was the idea of a jazz-loving medical student who realized that he could etch grooves into the x-rays to produce low quality recordings.
