Deere-est Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 Good pics Nick, there are some like that in my blog type topic I think. It is an amazing feat to watch I have to say. Traci was there with her niece one day and neither had seen a cow calf and what happens? A cow calves!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiwi6920 Posted July 22, 2008 Author Share Posted July 22, 2008 Thanks for the kind comments guys Marcus, they are on a sand hill atcualy, they spend around 20 hrs a day there at the moment, they get shifted off to eat there grass ( normaly around 4 hours) as it winter here and we have had alot of rain of late so in turn our paddocls are as wet as and if the cows stayed on the paddock all day or all night it would be a sea of mud, the sand is nice and dry compared to a grass paddock so the cows like it better for sleeping, they get feed hay on the sand hill so they have some thing to chew on Hope that makes sence Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
