A Cattle drive on the Farm

Oct18

There have always been cattle raised on Campbell's Farm, and today we moved some newly acquired animals to a different pasture on the other side of Percy Creek. It was all new to these Black Angus, because they were raised in Alberta Canada, and were sold from there, because of drought and a lack of winter feed in that Province. They are gentle creatures and went where they were supposed to go with very little problem.

We started the drive at 8.am Sunday morning, and  succeeded in moving them on the road without interfering with the normal traffic.  They were a bit hesitant about crossing the bridge over the water, but they all crowded together in the middle, and soon were safely across.

Once in the new pasture, they ran around checking out the electric fence to see just how much freedom they had. Cattle are like everyone else; no matter how much they are given, they will always be looking for more.

There was a touch of frost on the ground, but that didn't hinder the cattle from grazing. For them it's the dressing on the salad.

Questions or Comments welcome.
