The cows are out!

Now that the grass is green and plentiful, it's time for the cows to spend their days and nights grazing, making lovely creamy milk from all that lush green.  First, though, a quick check of the fences is necessary.  The cows wait impatiently.

The girls all know something is afoot.  After having been restricted to the barnyard all winter,
that green grass has been looking more delectable by the day.  They are all anxious to get at it.

Tartine, in the little girls' paddock, wants in on the action too.

A short clip of the ladies romping and kicking up their heels.

After a good romp, they settle in to eating.

A nice after lunch nap is always a good thing.

Heather's a very good eater.

Our new little goslings arrived 2 weeks ago and are growing faster than we can keep up with.  

Henry and Eliza are quite funny little creatures.  They are very alert and love
to follow whoever is nearest.  Before long they will have the run of the farm,
just as their predecessor, Oscar, did.  For now, though, we must keep them out
of the way of the fox family living under the granary so they are safely
ensconced in the garage.  Next post will be about the foxes.
