Lady has been bellowing all evening for them, she was such a good mum and she is missing them loads even though they were weaned and she is with the other cattle. Think we have a noisy night ahead of us.
They are very tame, will eat out your hand and walk well on the halter. So glad they have gone to such a loving new home with fabulous views, I don't think they will miss the sea views they had with the fantastic mountain views they have in their new home.  :wave: :wave:

 :cow:  :cow:  met  :dog:  :dog: today ...... they were very interested ....dogs were very sceptical!


They are lovely girls and are coming easily to the bucket and to see me in field.
 I thought I'd lost them yesterday ...... although I know the field is cattle proof ............. then I spotted 4 black ears twitching in the grass (reminded me of tan ears twitching whilst on safari!) 

Looking forward to getting them on lead ropes in next few days.

Sorry Lady they don't seem to be missing you
