Scenes from the farmers protest today on Kildare Street against CAP reforms.

Not quite, caller.
Despite appearances, these cows are not wearing jetpacks. They are having their flatulence measured by Teagasc, Ireland’s Agricultural and Food Development Authority. Teagasc hopes to find a way to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions without cutting milk production.

Moira Cardiff, she of the controversial Brigid’s Cross brouhaha, writes:
Hello all at Broadsheet. Thought you might like to meet ‘Fargo Lowry’. He lives in Offaly. He loves his cows and they love him.

Cattle grazing in the grounds of Áras an Uachtaráin, Phoenix Park, Dublin, this afternoon.
Just grateful they’re not living in Kerry.

Cyriak Harris’s brain-melting Cows, Cows & Cows (top) interpreted through the medium of modern dance.
Youtuber, speedylegs100 sez:
By the way the video stops playing in the background because in a theater it would have taken away from the dancing and people would have started watching the movie instead of the dance.
Fine. Or you could give the dance video a 4 second head start, then start the Cyriak video, then mute the dance video and watch both. You’re welcome.
