Cattle are Lowing

The animals resting in the Meadow made we think of the sweet song—Away in the Manger.  The cattle are lowing, the baby awakes, But little Lord Jesus, no crying he makes. 

So what is lowing? Is it the same as mooing.  I think it’s a low mournful sound cows make.  The sound woke Jesus but he didn’t cry. Guess He knew that cows don’t have upper front teeth, so they can’t bite you. At best they can only nibble a bit at us.  They grind their food with back teeth. I grew up around cows.  The lowing sound is peaceful.

Cows are interesting...I recall mooing, chewing , stomping of feet, swishing of tails and the liquid flying and the poop plopping and sometime a fart or two...:) Maybe our cows did not low...:)
