Wa joking with a lady friend of mine about buying her a cow for her birthday. She says it's a good money maker (cow will have calves and you can sell them for a handsome profit). She says a cow will set you back about 1,000 USD.

Just curious, but how much does a cow go for anyway?

$1000.

Tell her you will buy her a bull. She can rent it out to impregnate lots of cows and make some good money for the service.

$500-1000 but then how big, what type.

Found this interesting website:

"Cows for Cambodia is essentially a “COW BANK”. We loan families a pregnant cow, they must look after it and when it has the baby they get to keep the baby and we take our cow back. It’s more about providing an opportunity to break the poverty cycle rather than a direct handout."

Some things are better left alone / unexplored. Real rural life in Cambodia is extremely difficult.

I have some Magic Beans I would be willing to trade for a cow,or some Bitcoin?
