New pasture

Dan's been working on setting up a new pasture for a few days.  Getting the cows to it required a bit of creative fence building, as they would need to head over the hill behind the house, past the paddock containing the Consider Bardwell Farm kids, across the D & H rail trail and, finally, over a wooden farm bridge into the mowed hay field of Consider Bardwell's back acreage.  Cows are known to be quite skeptical of new experiences and getting them to cross a wooden bridge was especially a bit of a worry.

Having navigated the hill, the ladies wait patiently at the gate separating them from the
rail trail while we take a last check to make sure all fences are working.

Meanwhile, the kids heckle and jeer.

Off they go, across the bridge .......

..... while the kids continue with their monkeyshines.

We worried needlessly, it all went off without a hitch! What a great bunch of girls!
