Dinner Time481 mol gekuckt ginnWe usually feed the cattle and the pigs separately, in troughs on opposite sides of the field. But today was "photo" day, so we fed them together. And they happily shared their feed.%13. %322 %2006

A Highland Cow Having a Swig of Beer508 mol gekuckt ginnOur beef cattle are raised in the traditional Kobe style -- they are fed beer and grain. Normally, they don't like the "fizz" in the beer, so prefer it if we pour it over the grain and let it sit for a few hours. But this was a hot spring day, and this cow quite enjoyed the cold beer right from the bottle.%13. %322 %2006

Is This Worcestershire? Or the Maasai Mara?438 mol gekuckt ginnWe couldn't catch the Highland cow or Highland steer having tried everything. We finally called the West Midland Safari Park and Bob Lawrence, their Head Warden, came out to assist us "dart" the cattle. This photo was taken in sunny Worcestershire on a December afternoon --- not the Mara.%16. %193 %2005
