After having said that cattle is too big for us.... well farmer moved 15 heifers into the field a day after I asked him if he wanted to... so quite keen then. And boy do they drink as lot of water... I am forever filling up their tank (with a garden hose)... but they do look gorgeous! (and are a lot more quiet than the ewes and goats!)

No I'm not on NR anymore. They introduced subscription and I let it lapse. I did try to rejoin but can't seem to get past the registration. I'm on Horse and Hound now and again.

Nice to see you too. :) Do you still have your soap business?

Heifers are young female cows before they have calved (not sure what the exact age is when cows go to the bull...)
