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!.

Thanks for visiting and also for leaving comments.
Just lovely. And I really like that he keeps the older cows closer.
ReplyDeleteHi Sue. John the farmer is a real softie. Yes I loved that is keep certain cows closer so they did not have so far to walk. Thanks for visit.
ReplyDeleteHello Margaret, the view on the first image is gorgeous. I love seeing all the cows in the video and the photos. Great fence shots! Enjoy your day!
ReplyDeleteSuch lovely cows, their udders looked uncomfortable I wonder if they are...Hugo is kind a handsome in his own way..funny full name K.H.
ReplyDeleteThe 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 ...

Nice photos of the cows!
ReplyDeleteA lovely view over the countryside through the gate! I always love seeing cows amble home at milking time! Poor cows, with full udders can't move too fast!
ReplyDeletei love holsteins. they're the most popular cow in my home state of wisconsin. :)
ReplyDeleteWow 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
ReplyDeleteNice pictures! I confess they made me want to put a coat on, though.
ReplyDeleteMargaret, I loved these photos. What a beautiful view in that first shot across the gate. I also enjoyed those pretty cows and the video, all wonderful photos. Thanks so much for visiting my blog and letting me know my thistle was actually a teasel. Appreciated that very much.
ReplyDeleteOh my! I do hope that many cows did not have to be milked by hand.
ReplyDeleteOh these are so beautiful, Margaret...such a stunning view in the first shot! Love seeing of these sweet cows!
ReplyDeleteThey all seem to know the routine well...Sure is windy!
ReplyDelete~
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.
ReplyDeleteQuite a gorgeous view from that side of the gate!
ReplyDeleteFantastic view in the first photo!
ReplyDeleteWow, so many cows and well trained. Loved the video very much. Beautiful shots!
ReplyDeleteI love that opening view, and loved seeing all the cows...
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely view beyond the gate!
ReplyDeleteHello Margaret!:) Yes indeed that first shot of the gate looking over the fields towards the sea is very beautiful, and I enjoyed watching the vÃdeo, reminded me of when we had Friesian cattle.
ReplyDeleteYes I spotted the bull Margaret. I know what to look for.{:))
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures, I like the landscape in the first!

I always love to see pictures from Ireland . . .
ReplyDeleteSuch 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 . . .
