Back to where I left off from this visit to the Canada Agriculture and Food Museum. These two calves were at rest.
Panels in an enclosed room look at the milking process.
Back out among the herd I went. They were busy finishing up lunch.
These carts make for a good way to move their hay and other feed.
I cycle past a pasture a few times every week. It has a lake as a nice backdrop. Still waiting for the cows and the sheep to show up.
ReplyDeleteA few weeks, I imagine.
DeleteI love the cows, great series! Take care, enjoy your day!
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteIt all looks along way from when Fred the cowman used to squat on his wooden stool and milk the cows into a bucket on the farm where my dad worked when I was a lad. The farmer even wore one of those smocks which you only see nowadays in ads for cider.
ReplyDeleteThings have changed.
Delete...you found some nice looking young ladies.
ReplyDeleteThe girls were busy.
DeleteI love them!
ReplyDeleteMe too.
DeleteThose look to be contented cows, William.
ReplyDeleteI think so.

You're welcome.
DeleteThe images of the cows in the stable arecomparable to Dutch stables.
ReplyDeleteI can see that.
DeleteLike seeing all the cows. They are such curious animals.
ReplyDeleteThey are.
DeleteLike the sign says, keeping it clean in a dairy operation is key!
ReplyDeleteVery much so.
DeleteDid you moo at them? I was middle-aged before I stopped mooing at cows.
ReplyDeleteI spoke with them, a quiet kind of tone.
DeleteFor a minute I thought that calf was a goat. Which shows just how much I know about cows!
ReplyDeleteGoats are coming.
DeleteGreat photographs William, they do look quite contented.
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
They do.
