Title: Meet the new girls
Post by: Backinwellies on October 13, 2013, 02:47:54 pm
Meet my new arrivals   Carys (the youngster) and Bonnie (the cow). 

 Neither are very happy at the moment ... Carys left her mother and Bonnie her calf to come her.    Lots of noise as they pace the field and test the boundaries..... and even more noise from my dexters who want to meet the new girls.

  not huge but Bonnie jumped a five bar gate yesterday .... (was down a slope)   .... wish I'd acctually seen her do it .... was round corner of field ........... if I hadn't actually witnessed her appear the other side I think we would have spent all day looking for a gap in the fence!!

Nice looking beasties - we keep Shetland cattle too.

One of ours is a jumper - mind it was a bulling heifer who was really keen to get to our bull. She was very happy to meet him - and he was, of course, delighted - as only a bull can be!

How old is Carys?
