Yesterday Inaki and I dug out the cows winter pen. This is a big spring job as I always have a deep bed of straw in the winter which is warm for the cows but a lot of heavy work in the spring. Thank God I have Inaki this year.
We will have piles of compost next year.
Tane gave me his happy smile yesterday so I could show you his youthful tusks.
Cats and Cows love The Cadet. Lady Astor walked straight across to her and presented her head for a scratch with Aunty Del right behind her. Both good solid confident cows trusting my farm girl. If all goes well they will be great to milk this year. Alex, who is developing quite the udder, is still our shy girl. The Dexters are both a little quieter than the two big cows.
My muscles are tired from all the digging of manure. You can tell I am getting busy, my words in the blog are getting less. You will always have pictures though!
I hope you have a lovely day.

Love that Tane smiles vecause he makes me laugh, looking like a crazy cartoon character as he does. If a cat likes someone (and vice versa) then they’re good with me, when a cow likes someone it’s a real character reference.
as they say-a picture is worth a 1000 words! Good thing you have help!
Yes, best wishes from far away Australia to The Cadet also – and thank you for making Miss C’s life a wee bit easier!! There is a saying in the country in which I was born: watch the animals – they are instinctively wise: if they like someone that person will be lovely to know . . .
Wow, Tane! Nice tusks, although tiny!
So glad you have help for this big job. The Cadet must be very special. Nice shots of the tusks, and Tane seems rather compliant!
I love Tane’s tusks! What a cheesy smile he has!! ha ha! While you find less words, at least you post every day. I am so busy I seem to have disappeared from the blogging world. I have great photos but no time to share lately. 😦
That’s what you call a pig smile! Love the last pic .. 😃
Will you nip the tusks or trust in your rapport?
