Not sure if the title is spelled right (it’s supposed to be the fenced in area to keep cattle in one spot, not the little critters that make reefs).

I was amused by this not because I have never seen one before but because this was the only coral I saw in Kenya; most families kept their cattle in sheds.

Anyway, I was also amused by the fact that I saw lots of Holsteins in Kenya. Holsteins produce *alot* of milk so it makes sense for dairy farmers to have them but the breed is originally from the UK (not a warm place) and Kenya can get pretty warm. Now I should mention that I was in the Mount Kenya area which had wonderful weather and I was told did not get particularly hot so it is quite possible that no one had Holsteins in other parts of the country. By the way, I brought that up because the tan bovine in this picture appears to have some Brahma in it, a very heat tolerant breed.
