Weekly Photo Challenge: In The Background. Peeking
Peeking.
Which does make one wonder, what she was peeking at?
Why her mother, and her new nephew of course.
We spent all night looking for Patch, who had snuck away to have her calf. On a 360 acre farm with bush/trees over 100 acres, hiding is easy, finding not always so easy. In the end we followed her daughter, Gwen, who took us right to the spot.
Everything looks wonderful, serene, even pretty. Anyone who has raised cattle knows it’s rarely like that, behind the scenes we had to follow the one cow through the bush for ages to be taken to the other. Very quickly after these photos were taken, the mama cow saw the dogs and well nearly ran over everyone chasing them, which unintentionally distracted her enough for us to load the calf and take it to the barn (don’t worry, mama was alongside the vehicle the entire time).
These photos all taken with an old Kodak 110 Camera – before dodging mommy cow.
