Williams cows by happypat

Williams cows

Our grandson William who milks around 300 cows in North Island NZ sent us some photos through FB this morning ...here is one of them.

Not my photo but I love the blue sky & backs of the cows as they walk down the race.

Spring time in NZ.
This is great, love the mountains in the distance.

nice pic pat but what is a 'race' ?
September 24th, 2014  
@phil_howcroft a race is what they call the track that goes between tthe fields from the milking shed & farm buildings. As you can see they are quite wide & in good order. Because the cows are out all year round they need good roads for movement of stock all year round. The cows are moved very regularly every day of the year to a different part of the field.

I love this Pat. My folk farmed in Northern Ireland and I've often followed cows along a lane. Your grandson's race is much better. My 1st husband's mother came from Tottenham and when she came home with us way back in the 60s the cows terrified her!
