Tima and The Beast
I suspect these cows of grooming Tima. Their long rough tongues must feel good on her back. And she is not choosy. She is getting much more comfortable with the cows being in ‘her’ field. But lying down behind them to wait for her… Continue Reading “Tima and The Beast”
Blogging is a Little Like Playing Chopped
