I suppose the fact that they would have to come in via the front door and walk through the house, then climb up the steps to reach the garden could present some problems. . . . .sablonneusehttp://sabonneuse.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-28643336823058420552009-10-06T14:10:40.824+01:002009-10-06T14:10:40.824+01:00I have never weighed a cow, it's a bit awkward...I have never weighed a cow, it's a bit awkward on my scales. I can weigh a dog by picking it up and then afterwards weighing me and subtracting, but I can certainly say that I can't pick up a cow. Even a little one.<br /><br />Those jutting-out hip bones are meant to look like that, like a greyhound's ribs or my stomach. She's quite well-covered really. And I've just given them another half-bale of hay which, considering I haven't had my own lunch yet, I think is a bit over-and-above.Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00822383355869390919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-57596940738291857402009-10-06T12:45:36.636+01:002009-10-06T12:45:36.636+01:00They weigh four tonnes, don't they?

They come once they've dried off, just for a few months, then go back to the farm to calve. Big Pinkie has been here all spring and summer, but she didn't have a calf last year.<br /><br />This is a farming area Marion, around us are areas called 'marshes' which are nothing of the sort really as they are not normally marshy! But they get flooded when the rivers overflow - there's a whole network of waterways with one main river - and so can't be ploughed but are managed by grazing. East Anglia is low-lying and fairly flat, and a lot of crops are grown too.Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00822383355869390919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21602861.post-19647307641623056842009-10-05T17:35:27.713+01:002009-10-05T17:35:27.713+01:00It appears you have quite a farm yourself, with th...It appears you have quite a farm yourself, with the cows and chickens and fields.
