We had a lamb that went crazy over Little Debbie Oatmeal Cream Pies.  My daughter left the "Snack" back to close to the sheep pen at a show and that little booger ate the whole thing, box and all lol.  On the way to the sale barn, I stopped and got the old boy a double decker one for old times sakes.  I know I'm a softie

Our Shorty this year loved beer poured on his feed, we also have horses that steal it out of the cooler from the truck.

Red's post about your favorite comfort food got me thinking about my daughter's Sonny heifer.    "Sugar" holds her tongue out to catch the rain water coming off the roof of our barn and has always been a sucker for Chocolate covered donuts.  She has even been known to eat the crust from our pizza and loves to drink Gatorade if you pour it out for her.  As you can tell she's extremely spoiled(although she did have a really good Tonic calf this spring) but I'm sure some of you have cattle with weird eating/drinking habits. 

My daughter and Sugar take thier naps together at shows sometimes.  Apparently, she makes a soft mattress---the heifer, not the kid!!

My cattle were absolutely hooked on pears right off one of the several pear trees in my yard here in Michigan!  They'd line up on the gate and wait for me to pick some for them and feed them to them.  In Wyoming, I had a property with a pivot irrigation system that I used on the pasture where the cattle grazed.  Hey, out there, no irrigation - no pasture.  Every time I fired it up, one of the Angus cows would stand under it and lap the water as it came out of the nozzles.  Here's a picture of her loving the pivot!

I'm with lovesredcows. Those cattle just love those yucca pods. There is usually a western rattle snake curled under the plant also. :)

leftover cake and one cow loves carrots. My husband stops at dunkin donuts and gets our "old cow" a donut whenever we go to a fair...needless to say she is always willing to get on the truck!
