Swiss Cows Text When Horny

The latest in weird cow news: a sensor implanted in some Swiss cows can detect when the cows are in heat. It sends a text message to the farmer when the cow is in the mood, who can then arrange to have a bull brought in to mate. Apparently this is all necessary because cows are in the mood far less often nowadays (the cow version of 'not tonight, I've got a headache') because of the stress of farmers constantly milking them.

One small correction, Alex; Bulls "SERVE" the cows. Sort'a like in that old joke; "If he serves that turkey I'm going to piss in the gravy!"
