Here Come the Girls!

It's officially Spring now and time to let the cows out of their winter home - always an exciting time.

The noise as they sense what's going on is deafening

but there has to be a bit of preparation before we let them out.  Any gaps they can get through that don't lead to the meadow have to be blocked

 

then the first lot are let out into the yard.  First one out

 

then we open the gates and - run for it girls!

Oops - if the calves don't keep up with their mums

                                              they tend to run the wrong way

 



but then they get it

Along towards the house

and then down to the meadow

Finally - lots of lush grass, sunshine, and space to roam!
