I believe the i7 Ranch is a major source for western cattle, beef / milk cows in the KOW.

This subject just came up with the girl who is from Kompong Cham. I guess when she sells a cow there, she has to pay around $200.00 to the cops to take care of the transfer/ownership documents.

Actually in my view cows are not a positive move. Beef is harmful from a climate change perspective. Environmental impact is major.

Dairy cows could be another story but that is hardly done in Cambodia at all.

Here is a gem from my childhood that will let you know what a cow is worth.....



I grew up in a strict Mormon family and everyone was familiar with this video. I always thought Mohana was hotter than shit and couldn't understand why in the movie she was put down as being ugly...... Oh well.

Some things are better left alone / unexplored. Real rural life in Cambodia is extremely difficult.
I know. I'm going into bandit country tomorrow and I'm a bit concerned that I may be chopped up by yokels. :?
Personally I fear the chicken lice more than chopping yokels.

I'm not sure a cow is more harmful than a diesel engine from a climate change perspective. Cows in Cambodia are not used as pets, they're merely a tool in small scale family farms.

I would say that in the Cambodian context cows are a miniscule issue.

If talking about the Amazon for instance then yes I'm with you. Meat and soy is the devil!

Just curious, but how much does a cow go for anyway?
I've got a miserable old cow you can have for nothing...

Up in the province, I mainly fear the next door neighbour; she’s a bit of a miserable drunk, and gets a bit nasty by mid evening. For some reason, she seems to gravitate towards me.
