Well, I'm totally in the dark here b/c I've never "herd" of a cow parade.
Seriously, what is this? Here in TN if you said there was a cow parade, we would expect "real" cows. We have a Mule Parade in Columbia, TN that is a salute and weekend long party and parade w/mules in it. It's a big deal.
Then in Sept (I think) there's the Tennessee Walking Horse Celebration in Shelbyville. That really is a very big event. And for those that aren't into Walking Horse, we have rodeos, barrel racing, and other contests every Friday night during the summer. YEE-HAW!
We have 30 head of cattle here on our farm, if ya'll wanted to come watch them and take pictures, you can. We also have 20 goats you can come and see too. All our livestock is very gentle, will let you play w/their calves and kids, and a few of the cows will even let you ride them!! And yes, they can walk in a straight line (sorta) and make it look like a parade!!
Hope ya'll have a great day!!
