My Favorite Activity | Chickens in the Road

Apr

Moving cows outside fencing is my favorite farm activity.

Often, I do it by myself, such as for milking when Glory Bee is in the field across the road. Other times, I wait till I can get some help. It depends on the situation. Yesterday evening, I moved the cows about 100 yards outside fencing to get them to a different field (across the road). Because it’s spring and the grass outside fencing is so enticing, I waited until my hired hands were here so they could help me herd. It was still a challenge. I always take charge of Glory Bee, on the lead, because we’re so close, tight, bestest friends, you know.

And in short order, the girls were successfully moved!

They were quite pleased once they got there. And I was, too! (Dumplin was the biggest obstacle this time. But she came after mama eventually.)

In western Wisconsin, we are still waiting for ANY sign of spring. Seeing the emerald green of your grass and the flowering trees gives me hope! Thanks for posting such beautiful pictures.

What a lovely place for them to dine–a 5 star pasture.

"It was a cold wintry day when I brought my children to live in rural West Virginia. The farmhouse was one hundred years old, there was already snow on the ground, and the heat was sparse-—as was the insulation. The floors weren’t even, either. My then-twelve-year-old son walked in the door and said, “You’ve brought us to this slanted little house to die." Keep reading our story....

Oh, my goodness...I'm so sorry! She was a beautiful cow and your sweet friend. Animals are our family and of course if we love them deeply--we will grieve them deeply. I'm so glad you have her baby to love. That will help ease the sadness. And you know...you have all of us too. We do love you.

I stopped by to grab the cornmeal/sourcream biscuit recipe. So nice to read this update about the boys and Morgan. You may not remember me, but I was a avid reader a long time ago (once my daughter Robyn emailed you from Europe to say it made her less homesick to know her and I were reading the same blog) Hope you are doing well (seems like it) cheers
