GOOD FENCES -Travelling to a farm at Glynn (Part 2)

My shots are a bit back to front today as this first one is the view from the field where we were bringing the cows of and I am ending with a shot of when I told you yesterday I walked up to the bridge in Glynn village where I saw the Dipper.



Although it was a lovely sunny day, the wind was fierce as you will hear on the video at the end, in fact on the first clip you cannot hear me at all!



Just in case you cannot her what I am saying, we lead 190 milks over the road into the farm laneway.  There were actually 200 milked but he keeps some that are older and not as able to walk that distance closer to the farm.   



I wonder did anyone spot the black and white bull among the cows?        



This is the bridge from the other side.


This is the stone bridge I was telling you about. 

It is a bit dangerous standing there as the cars pass very close to you.

Now the brown Bull you see on the video is called 
Knockstacken Hugo or Hugo for short!.

There is a short video and if it does not appear, CLICK HERE

  5. The fence is privy to a gorgeous view every day of it's life ... how lucky. I love the cows. I especially love that they are walking in from an open field to be milked. They are gentle and healthy and the farmer has complete control simply by stepping out. That is as it should be ... here we have Factory farming and the animals don't fair so well. Sad to say ...

  8. Wow that's a lot of cows! No, I tried but could not spot a black-and-white bull among the cows! Uh-oh, I watched the video and saw a bull in the meadow next door. Was that he? I love the way the cows wait for the car to pass. In SA the cows wander all over our secondary roads, having been let out there to graze along the banks. I loved this post. Thanks for sharing. Jo

  14. Those cows certainly knew exactly where to go. Very nice photos and video of the cows, the bull and the fences. That did sound like a good strong wind.

  20. Hello Margaret!:) Yes indeed that first shot of the gate looking over the fields towards the sea is very beautiful, and I enjoyed watching the vídeo, reminded me of when we had Friesian cattle.

  22. I always love to see pictures from Ireland . . .
    Such a treat . . .
    I liked seeing the bunch of milk cows and it reminded me of one of our trips. We were back in the hills near Bantry when we took the back way into Duras and the cows were blocking the way in the road. Jack got out and helped them move over a bit and we continued the drive through . . . Ahhh, the memories . . .
