Longhorns

Josh has some new cattle - longhorns. They arrived last night after a long trip in a truck and were pleased to be put into the paddock. This morning they were happily settled into their new surroundings. Two are in calf, the other a steer and one younger calf. Should be some new babies by Christmas. My niece and daughter and I named them. RM - as in RM Williams, Char as in Charcoal, Aroha (Maori for love - the heart on its head) and Eelo - my niece made up that cool name.

Goodness me, how extraordinary. I've never actually seen a real one. Seen lots on the RM ads of course.

I do like my cattle with handlebars ;)

Wonderful to see your new herd. Love the names too, as a kiwi nice name Aroha. My early NZ settler family started with Longhorns as they cleared the land way back in 1880.

Great collage Dennise not something I would have expected to see in a field in NZ, I always found being close to a longhorn steer very intimidating:)

A wonderful foursome. It should provide you with lots of wonderful photo opportunities.

How nice! Once every cow had a name and now they have a number attached to the ear.

[Lesley Aldridge]

How lovely, I look forward to seeing the calves.
