The 8 cow wife.

[pebble]

Hello.

I was listening to one of Mr. Whitten's sermons and towards the end I caught a woman's voice saying something about 7/8 cows. I recognized it as one of my favorite stories from reader's digest, back when I was still in college.

The 8-cow Wife. Not pro-poly but definitely an interesting read and worthy of emulation in being better husbands.

I found a copy online ==> http://www.ultimatehusband.com/8cow_wife.htm

There's a movie version of this called Johnny Lingo.

I remember going to a marriage retreat where this story was told. At the end of the retreat we were told to say something good about our spouse and one guy said he thought he had a 100 cow wife.

It was once surmised that I paid 30 cows for my Sarah ....

If a young man would ask me today, I'd probably advice him to go for seven and a calf :mrgreen: and leave a little something for himself.

...I'd probably advice him to go for seven and a calf...

I must be hungry. On first read, I saw, "...seven and a half..." and instantly thought "BBQ"!!
