INTRODUCTION: Often we hear people speaking about "flying cows" with a very low scientific rigour, frequently exceeding into quackery. It's time to define more precisely this subject, to avoid gratuitous and unproved statements made by crooked scientists, making the whole discipline fall into disrepute.
The study of bovine flight is surely difficult by the loath nature of these ruminants, shrinking from any superfluous exhibitionism which is characteristic, for instance, of the birds, but prefere instead a discreet flying activity, mainly for ludic and trophic purposes (i.e. attainment of the higher and tenderer leaves of the trees): anyway plenty of detailed scientific evidences on bovine flight are available and are exposed in the next pages.
We can start defining cattle flying activity as buptery from the Greek boûV = cattle and pterón = wing. It must remark the almost perfect coincidence with the name butteri, the Italian Maremma cow boys, and this gives us a clear indication about the real duties of butteri in the past: air traffic controllers, not just stockpersons.
ANATOMICAL AND PHYISIOLOGICAL STRUCTURES OF BOVINE FLIGHT: The absence of wings in cattle is of common knowledge, therefore it must deem the only explanation of this phenomenon is jet propulsion, by means of physiological emission of methane, carbon dioxide, scatole, indole and other gases; since this emission occurrs from both body orifices, located at the opposite ends of the body, cattle have a fine direction and speed control, even if their flight is more noisy than birds flight, not being detrimental anyway, since cattle haven't any flying predator, and don't prey upon other species.
The flying activity requires modifications of sense-organs, assuring a correct orientation during migrations and body stability during flight, even in critical situations (glides, dives, pull-ups), which is of basic importance, seen the lacking aerodinamic property of the species. It's clear that horns are the organs aimed to this task, since they're placed above the head, like the other sense-organs, and oriented towards the flight direction; their importance is confirmed by the fact that flightless species (horses, donkeys, pigs) have no horns, and is moreover proved by the practice of dehorning in modern farms, aimed not only to prevent stockpersons and other cattle from being wounded, but mainly to impeach an escape by wings of animals having sometimes a high value.
On the other hand, centuries old wisdom of the breeders gives a very clear indication of their worries about cattle flying escapes, by means of technical devices like tie stall housing, and narrow windows in the oldest barns, so that cattle couldn't pass through.
It must remark that the most part of cattle parasites can fly (horse-flies, gad-flies, warble flies, etc.): should we suppose either a parasites' adaptation to flight, aimed to follow their host or that cattle learnt to fly to escape parasites? And anyway, why should an insect need wings to reach a host bound to the ground?
BUPTERE ETHNOLOGY: The different horn size of the different breeds are indicative of the different flying skill between them: Maremmana breed (fig.1) has particularly wide horns and is traditionally tended by butteri who, as seen previously, were at first real air traffic controllers.
Another cattle breed with particularly wide horns is Scottish "Highland" (fig.2), and it's easy to remark the meaningful etymology of the name:"high", like a flight, and "land", with the evident meaning of "cattle landing after a high flight".
Even Ayrshire breed name (fig.3) recalls more airlines than cattle, and it must remark that both Highlands and Ayrshire are in Scotland, not far from Loch Ness, seat of a paranormal reality negated by the official science? (see "Loch Ness: a negated reality" by the same Author).
The different coats of each breed suggest different flight habits: the black spotted breeds, like Holstein (fig.4), but even more the red spotted, like Simmental (fig.5), have evidently a showy colour to avoid collisions between them during formation flight, while breeds with uniform dark coat are those flying prevalently by night, with a mimetic purpose (fig.6, Aberdeen Angus, another Scottish breed: it's only by chance?). The British beef breed more widespread in the world is named Hereford, whose pronunciation recalls "airport", and which is mainly polled, so flightless, and this agrees with the red and white coat, with well distinct fields, typical of ground service vehicles on the airport runways (fig.7).
