I think these are beautiful cattle. The OH and I always say that if we were ever to have the space (and time) for cattle, these are what we would get. ;D

I think the farm behind us may have them.

Our ex- neighbours in Northamptonshire had a herd of them - they are beautiful cattle. The only thing that worried me was that he said they sometimes had to buy in calves to put on them because the cow had too much milk for one (they are a dual purpose breed). Don't know if this is common.

I had a friend who kept em for milking and she made cheese, it was very nice. :)
the most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, loving concern.
