Hairy Neighbours

Just down the road a few kilometres, there is a farm.  On this farm, there are Highland Beef Cows and they are my favourite.  They are just so hairy and photogenic that I can’t resist them!  Normally, they aren’t out by the road, where we can see them, but a couple of times a year they are moved into this pasture right alongside the road and it makes me quite joyful.

When I drove by and saw the herd in this field, I quickly stopped and snapped a few pictures on my phone so I would at least have one picture.  But then time allowed me an extra window of about 20 minutes one day and so I grabbed my camera and headed down the road.

I talked about the farm HERE, way back when they won Woodlot Owners of the Year and we spend a big chuck of our day there. Umm, look how little the girls were?!?!?!?

Now, I want to say that I used a lens that allowed me to stay on my side of the fence, with a ditch between us.  I don’t know these cows and these cows don’t know me and when there are babies, some mommas get fiercely protective and I wasn’t about to cross any lines with this cows…..they have horns….and having grown up on a dairy farm, I knew better.

Anyway, let’s move on to how adorable they are, shall we?

And my favourite one…

They are just so shaggy.  I’m not sure how they navigate life…they need their bangs trimmed!  I’ll just be over here trying to convince the handsome Mr. Byrne that I need one or two or five…..

Colourfully yours,
