First Grass...

This has got to be one of the most fun things to do in the spring...

After the fences are all checked, and the grass is long enough in the meadow, and the ground has dried off enough to handle those sharp hooves, we let the cows out to graze in the meadow.  Here they come...

(Check out the cow on the right side of the screen as she runs down the path on her knees, she's so excited!)


Before they settled down to graze, a couple of them had to play queen of the mountain...


One of them broke a wire and took a friend along for a short stroll before we got them back in.  Thankfully everyone else was busy and didn't notice, or we'd have had a real problem.

We stood around the edges of the electric fence for about thirty minutes until they all settled down and put their heads down...


That first grass...mmmmm!
