  In 2002, News of the Weird mentioned a Wall Street Journal dispatch from 
Cuba, suggesting that Fidel Castro's 1987 vision of "apartment cows" was 
still a ways off. (Castro had pushed farmers to breed small cows, not much 
larger than dogs, that families could keep in small homes and that would 
supply their minimum daily quantities of milk.) Two months after that story 
ran, a farmer in Rockwell, Iowa, said he had bred such miniature cows but 
that they were not good milk producers. Cut to September 2004: An Associated 
Press dispatch from San Juan Y Martinez, Cuba, touted rancher Raul 
Hernandez, who has now apparently successfully created a small herd of 
28-inch-high cows that can deliver about five quarts of high-quality milk.
