I bet a cyclopian bull would be easier for a popa to sneak up on and stun with a hammer. No peripheral vision!
Hmmm. Maybe. I've seen plenty of cattle in profile. I grew up on a Simmental cattle farm in Kentucky. (Warning: Do not bale hay shirtless in...

Here are some further thoughts about my Lightbox hard plastic or acrylic coin tray. Again, these are different from the wooden Voterra wooden...
