Moving cows

Padawan and Little Miss love to help their grandparents, particularly when it comes to moving stock.  Each year the gentleman builder's parents move dry cows (those that are not being milked just before they are due to give birth) from the home farm about 10km to another property they own.  This serves two purposes, it rests the soil at the home farm and reduces the likelihood of pest and disease loads building up and it gives the cows a chance to feed up on fresh grass before giving birth.

Each year the kids help out in moving the cows and get a real thrill out of it.

 Padawan and Little Miss always find something fun to do, wherever we are.  On this particular occasion, they each had a stick and  played with them for hours while we moved the cows.

I look forward to the day when it is our cows the kids are helping to move.
