My high school education

Some things I learned in high school I use every day, whether at home or work.

Some things, I rarely need to know, although someday they may get me on Jeopardy!

Such as how to tell the difference between a beef cow and a dairy cow.

The back and belly lines of a beef cow tend to be parallel, while the belly line of a dairy cow slopes downward.

A beef cow has a muscular, square rump, while a dairy cow had a smaller, bony one.

And a beef cow has a short, wide face, while a dairy cow had a narrower one.

If this helps you at all, please let me know.
