You too can get rural in a posh manner: by renting your own Swiss cow. Why?
In the past decade, more than a quarter of Switzerland’s family farms have gone out of business. Those that remain find creative ways to generate extra revenue. One such enterprising family leases out their cows during the alpine summer grazing. What do you get out of the deal? Visitation rights, if you are willing to drive up into the Alps to visit your ward.

Well, can’t fault the creativity behind that heifer of an idea!
