how now brown cow?

These are our two new heifers, Rosaleen and Catriona- Irish names for the girls, as it was the wish of their breeder- Pam Malcuit. Rosaleen the bigger and older of the two went to the Houston Livestock Show and won 5 or 6th place, and the next week after that, her and Catriona who was down in a breeding pasture, were brought up the cold mountain(yes the movie was referring to this area) to Our magical place. Just behind those trees in the picture with the cows is biltmore park, where full civilisation is- movie theatre, restaurants, ymca, barns and nobles and the lot, so its quite surreal to have all of this here and that just o v e r there.....

We led the two of them out on the 3rd day I think it was... I had Andrew hold the older trained heifer and I had the wild baby - Catriona - who took a little while to catch..... but then Rosaline started flailing her head around and stepped on Andrew's foot...... so I decided to switch- and have Andrew hold the baby Cat and have me lead Rosaline- who wanted to graze and Cat was scared and needed to be as close as possible to Rosas. So we walked them around the lower pasture and then led them back up and gave them their grain. I don't know what is so good about grain but I love it too- pastries, breads, cakes- life without grains would be dull. Right now Flossy has been observed checking them out on the other side of the fence when I let them out to kick their heels up and she darts at them even with the fence between them to chase them off. And of course they run because they are babies. Sometimes I really want to slap that horse around, she's such a pukebrain. So it will be a while before i let them intermingle- need to see the calves more alert and strong- Catriona seems to have weakly hindlegs so some running around will do her good. They are so sweet, and so ancient looking and sounding, the long tails are lion like. And their moo, does bellow loudly and the big wet nose isn't like any of the other animals I keep. They seem to be bonding nicely to us. So next year, we'll enjoy their lovely milk- smaller fat molecules allow for easier digestion - supposedly- so lets see if we fart less- cheese fitz
