A couple of weeks ago I showed you the cattle grazing in my field behind the house. They were enjoying the fresh green pasture and buttercups. Well it didn't take them long to finish THAT lot off - as you can see in the picture above. Bare field! They have now been moved onto fresh pasture, so they can continue to produce good milk for their calves and good Orkney Beef for the future! Very efficient recycling machines....
Meanwhile the field has had the roller over it (to roll out any deep hoof prints) and is beginning to grow back now. You can also see we still have leaden grey skies, though fortunately not the torrential rain of the rest of Scotland or UK.
Here the "coos" were a couple of weeks ago....
A roller over it ?!
ReplyDeleteThought you were going to say that you're golfing on it now ... lol
LOL! No it's still a little too bumpy for golf!
DeleteThere is beautiful; place
ReplyDeleteThank you! I love living here because it IS a beautiful place :-)
DeleteSuch beautiful scenery. I've not heard of a roller before. What a good idea. I've just found your blog from a blog list on The Book Trunk. I'll be back. You are living a life I think I'd enjoy.
ReplyDeleteHmmm I think they are quite common in farming - they may, of course, be called something completely different where you are :-)
DeleteOften they are used after ploughing and harrowing to flatten the earth before crops are sown. But this time it was used to just flatten out the ground (which was soft due to the rain).
