Muddy Boots – release of the cows

We live in beautiful PEI right smack in the middle of Farm country. Our homestead small farm is surrounded by dairy and beef cattle farms. When I look out the back windows I see the directly in the pasture behind us the beef cows and down the hill and then up again I usually see the dairy cows. With the bright deep green grass and dandelion it is a million dollar view.

I love this week in the spring it’s when the beef cows go out to pasture on grass all season. What’s fun to watch is the cows as they come out in the open and run wild with excitement as they have this new freedom to sunbath and eat fresh green grass.

I love watching the cows run from every area getting use to the new digs and all the room to moo!

There is an electric fence that borders our gardens out back and the cow pasture and its funny watching the curiosity of the cows as they soon discover it is a fence not to touch or cross. I havenon occasion mistakenly touched the fence with my butt as I plant and harvest veggies…… not a nice experience. LOL

Electric fence with white plastic so they know where it is…

It’s just one more of those things that happen in the spring that I look forward too. Of course as the season goes my greens always look tastier but I will offer handfuls of fresh plucked grass to those tame enough or brave enough to came and say hi.

Take care everyone and God Bless.
