According to Wikipedia, Norman cows (as pictured) "are a breed from the Normandy region in North West France. They are claimed to be descended from cattle imported by Viking settlers."

What a cool cow – better than the ones we have back in Wisconsin….
I thought something along those lines as well. They’re certainly a change from the typical midwestern dairy cattle and steer. Thanks for the comment!
Nice challenge. I bet you’re enjoying it!
The photography challenge? Certainly, albeit I stray from the prompts every so often. Thanks for the comment!
interesting!
It, or rather he, is! Thanks for the comment!
I find it very interesting. I didn’t really know Normandy has their own unique breed of cattle.
Also, a question, do you live in Europe or are you on a vacation? Or do you pull photos from a previous vacation? Just curious because I am fascinated by France. (Oh, and Switzerland because of the LHC.)
Quite interesting indeed, my France pictures are pulled from the collection of my prior visit to the country.
