Rockies bring live cow to spring training

As part of a team-building exercise, the Colorado Rockies brought a live cow to their spring training home in Maricopa County, Arizona, on Tuesday afternoon.

According to the team's Twitter account, the Rockies learned about the origins of different cuts of meat.

Center fielder Charlie Blackmon was among the Rockies players who took pictures with the cow. Left fielder Gerardo Parra, meanwhile, literally took the bull by the horns.

Now it's time for the cow to show us what he's made of.

The Rockies have already used five pitchers in six innings of their exhibition against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Needless to say, they could really use some quality innings from the cow.
