This reminds me of Midtown Cowboys, a sitcom-minigame-within-a-game for the Telltale Sam and Max series, in which the titular characters decide to have a ranch in their apartment and have to think of clever ways to hide a cow from their landlord. Midtown Cowboys | Sam & Max Wiki | Fandom

The theme song seven seconds of some country-sounding music with the end lyrics “They’re probably hiding a cow!” Midtown Cowboys - YouTube

Man, I would not trust that balcony to hold up the weight of 7 growing cows. Also, that is going to be a lot of hay or feed . And the poop - so much poop.

This was a bad idea all around.

No cows but chickens and goats on this early rooftop farm in NYC:

“The farm on the roof,” Weddie Stokes wrote years later, “included about 500 chicken, many ducks, about six goats and a small bear.” Every day, a bellhop delivered free fresh eggs to all the tenants, and any surplus was sold cheaply to the public in the basement arcade. Not much about this feature charmed the city fathers, however, and in 1907, the Department of Health shut down the farm in the sky. The animals went to Central Park and lived happily ever after.

Sichuan? It can be fresian there i the winter. While I get it was a pain in the Angus for the neighbours I think that after their confinement I would hope they got the Limousin of cattle transport. They definitely drew the short horn being kept on a balcony.

It was probably the residents of apartment 703 who reported the cowboy. The cows were disturbing their pigpen.

They could put on jerseys.
