| 'Kine' is an archaic English word for 'cow'. In Devon it can refer to Devon Reds - a duel purpose cow (milk and beef) - If you wish to use my photos please attribute this blog. |
"When kine view the sky, stretching up their heads and snuffing the air, moist vapours are engendering, the cause of their doing so being their sensibility of the air's sudden alteration from dry to wet ; and sudden rain will ensue, though at that time the sun may be shining brightly."
Hewett 1900
[My dad always said if the cows where lying down it would rain...]
