So, first the cows were able to knock their water over and it flowed into their tiny wallow.
Then I refilled their water and forgot I was filling it and THAT overflowed. And next thing you know all the cows are stomping up and down cooling their heels, making a pond. Alex must be exhausted she did not move out of that puddle all day and I could still hear her paddling in there in the night. She has a heavy coat and must get hot.
So, I took my naughty filthy milking cows and the little bull, who is following Lady Astor around, up to the concrete pad to hose them down, from the feet up. Both their udders were caked in mud.
What a mess. 
Lady is coming back into heat so on the advice of my Lady Cow Vet she is being (hopefully) rebred this morning. Early.
Cow sunblock.
Have a lovely day.

I have pictures of me in Panama at a special spot with therapeutic mud baths. Ha!, I think it was probably a cow wallow relabelled as a spa! I’m sure the cows will be wildly glamorous in the days to come and no bugs!
I remember being a teeny weeny tot and having to accompany my Mom each year during our beachside summer holiday as she frequented her series of ‘mudbaths’!! Oh, so good for the skin and so good for the psyche [!} . . . . and they certainly did not come for free 🙂 !! Actually in a very fancy ‘Sanatorium’ !!!
I take it that attempt a few weeks ago with Carlos and Lady did not succeed. Shucks.
Marvellous pictures
Well the extra water and mud made for some great pictures. Thanks for the post.
