A snippet of Bajan culture:
In Barbados, part of the culture comes from learning not to
stare when you pass a cow grazing in the median (or on the side) of one of the island's
busiest highways. Because many Bajans don't have much land of their own, it's a
more-or-less accepted practice for people to "tie down" their cows wherever
the grass is. The Bajan leads the cow out in the morning, ties a heavy rock to the
cow's horn by a long rope, and leaves the animal till nightfall. The cow eventually
provides meat (and sometimes milk, if the owner breeds the cow) for a Bajan family at a
lower cost than buying the meat at market.
