So many cows in fields enjoying the fresh air in New Zealand.
Lovely to see them, hundreds in fields sometimes.
I hate the fact that many if our UK cows spend their time inside. I know the system is different in NZ where cows are out all year round but sometimes there is a happy medium.
I used to love it on turning out day, usually early May or late April depending on the grass growth plus condition of the land…too wet & they make a mess.
They used to run & jump for joy that first day.
Instinct told them it was time…they used to start mooing & queueing up behind the doors.
I would like to see a premium payment for milk that is from outdoor grass fed cows.
The mountains here run down the centre of South Island & it’s at the base of these mountains that our granddaughter & her husband plus Nina & Tessie farm.
Brian stopped at the side if the road so I could take this photo…..all the farmers driving past must have thought …tourists!!
Number 2 son birthday today….I should have stayed another couple of days. 🤦♀️
Jet lag isn’t too bad & an early night tonight should fix it!
