The Cows Are Out

At last, the milk herd are released from a winter indoors, and we no longer have to put up with tractors covering the surrounding fields with their slurry!

It's a country life for sure, and I love it, but man, that smell is awful. Truly truly gut wrenchingly awful...so it's a relief when the cows come out.

The downside is that we have to be much more careful where we walk with George, as cows (especially when with calves) and dogs do not mix well. The dog usually comes out of the encounter with not a scratch, but there's too many stories of owners being trampled to death trying to protect the aforementioned dog!

I keep it simple... Dogs and cows don't mix. If in doubt, turn back.
