Why do I love my Lowlines? I could cite all the obvious practical reasons explained elsewhere in this website....OR we could do a little research and find out some real interesting history! The first article I came upon was in the Washington State University Magazine Online. Here are some excerpts:  "At first encounter, we may think the bovine décor theme silly and contrived, yet it harks back about 3,500 years, to the beginnings of cattle domestication. Bovine-related home décor has been around since ancient Egyptians, Mesopotamians, and Etruscans featured horned cattle on their walls, dishes, and jewelry. By tacking up cow calendars or filling cute, cow-shaped cookie jars, women unknowingly make connections to their ancestral past.""In ancient Egypt, the goddess Hathor, the great mother, was depicted as a cow whose body was the heavens and whose udder spewed out the Milky Way. Every day she gave birth to the sun, the Golden Calf." "Females in herding societies had more equality and more power. The entire social system was built on nurturing skills and attitudes." "Myths from the Near East, Japan, and India tell of a world created by the curdling action of milk, and of a universe that was "curdled" into being." Read the entire article, Cattle & Women, by Laurie Winn Carlson. I found it very interesting.  Then I found a fun thread discussing women and cattle drives.Women Cattle Drovers Discussion. 
Dr. Temple Grandin is famous for her knowledge of animal behavior, cattle in particular. She is an advocate of humane handling practices of all livestock. And has designed low-stress cattle handling systems adopted by major processing facilities. Another indication of the caring nature of women towards cattle. Temple Grandin PHD. We love our cows!
