Evening cows

My small home-field herd is doing very well. calf

Not-So-Difficult has begun to walk with her herd and she is eating well and though her lungs will never be 100 percent I think she is improving.  The whole group  are even sleeping outside at night now, no-one wants to go to the barn it is so warm. I am not complaining, the cold will come, every winter is different but not being below zero is a bonus. So I am happy for this warmth – it is good for my livestock.

Almost all the gates between fields are open now, there is not a lot of feed but with this extended fall there is a little growth in the fields so I am letting them roam almost all our small acreage.

They get hay once a day  and when I leave on Friday I will open the last two gates and they can have all four acres.

Both Alex and Lady Astor are pregnant so this roaming keeps them fit. Pregnant girls need exercise.

Now that the Plonkers are gone Molly and Tahiti are now in a small field of their own. And they are thrilled to bits  to get outside because there is a lot of mud!

Tahiti is still climbing bless her. But safer in here.  She cannot climb this fence.

I don’t think!

Look at that pig belly. Don’t you just want to scratch it.

I hope you have a lovely day.

  1. Celi, I so love your photography and the layout of your blog. When I open it up the large picture makes me feel like I’m looking in or out a window onto your farmie! Thank you for taking the time to share your days with those of us all spread around this globe. Grateful for my daily visit to the virtual farmie!

  2. awww such cuties- all of them! You have such a knack of capturing their individual personalities! Just got my calendar- bless you for creating it. It will amuse me all year! Cheers!

  3. Yes, this weather we are having here too is unbelievable! I was out earlier today in a dazzling and warm sunshine with just a sweater on! Your crew all looks so happy and contented in your fields. Here’s hoping these mild temps hang on longer and longer. Hope your day has been a good one — Mame 🙂

  4. Oh-oh! Methinks you better give special instructions to Big John and Jake whilst you are away: I would not trust Tahiti nor her seeming inabilities a’tall !!!! That gal has plans and where there is a will there may be a way 😉 !

  5. Not-so-Difficult has such a pretty face. What a lovely girl she is. Molly & Tahiti don’t seem to be interested in the mud, but posing for the camera–or watching chickens. Silly girls. I can almost hear them giggling.
