Its a pity this thread didn't come up early 2011.

Okay - maybe I should have written "I wish I'd noticed it back then", which is of cours impossible because I wasn't registered here then.  :P

Yes they are, I love them, didn't think I'd like cows quite as much as I like these two  :D

Robert, I just hit lucky with where we were stood, pig field not quite so dry  ;)

Beautiful!   :love: :cow:

I knew I would love my Jersey but I wasn't expecting the level of bond which forms between a house cow and her human.  BH says, "She'd follow you to Silloth," and I expect she would.  I miss her if I am away - and she misses me for sure.  She also gets jealous if I am giving too much attention to any other cow - or pig, collie dog, or anything! - and comes over and wraps her head and neck around me. 
Don't listen to the money men - they know the price of everything and the value of nothing

Live in a cohousing community with small farm for our own use.  Dairy cows (rearing their own calves for beef), pigs, sheep for meat and fleece, ducks and hens for eggs, veg and fruit growing
