The trouble with cows 2010 part 2

…is that they always want to be where they shouldn’t be.  Andrew and Joana have gone away for a few days and when Ian came up on the tractor on Tuesday morning Chris went out as we had noticed that one of the heifers had jumped the wall and was in our front field.  I thought I would go and help too which was just well as Ian had spotted that four of the heifers were with the maternity wing and the rest of the heifers had somehow opened the gate and were in the hay field.  Chris and I had a ride on the tractor and we managed to get the heifers back into the field they should be.  We discovered a part of the wall had fallen down which was how the four heifers had got into he maternity wing.  We had to open the gate and get these heifers out into our front field then between the three of we manged to get the five heifers back to where they should be.  That was most of the morning gone!  Spent some time putting out more plants and chatting to guests and later in the afternoon we walked down to the farm and rounded up the cows and got them into the milking shed for Ian.  A quick change of clothing and off to Buxton as we had tickets for Blood Brothers which we both enjoyed.  Noticed how light it was when travelling back at 10.30 – soon the longest day will be here.  By the way Monday was a quiet day, first Monday for many months when we had no arrivals or departutes at our Bakewell cottages so a day of paper work!
