Spesh aka Pat thinks sheep are cute. Sorry. Lambs may, just may, be cute but sheep....never. Anyway Virginia asked whether Highland Cattle which have been appearing on this blog are ours. They are not. They belong to neighbours. The Cottage is on the edge of The Family's 5-acre 'lifestyle plot ' and the paddock in front belongs to our neighbours although their house is not visible from either The Cottage or The House.
These are cattle grazing in The Family's paddock next to me. Is it my imagination or is the bullock on the left frowning? And in the bottom photo is he bemused or about to ask me something?

I can see you making a name for yourself as a bovine portraitist.
ReplyDeleteGrand shots....I like cattle....dead and alive.
Adrian, for someone who has spent quite a lot of my life as a non-meat-eater I regret to say that I prefer them on my plate than in a field.
DeleteOh dear, he does look like he's frowning and about to say something of the "two word" variety. Maybe he thought you were going to say something rude to his mate, and he was ready to take you on.
ReplyDeleteI would have to name them all....he looks like a Bull Master.
Loved the photos by the way.
Virginia I never give a name to anything I might end up eating.
DeleteI think he's telling you to get lost and stop waving that camera in his face. (Don't listen to him...)
ReplyDeleteI shan't Monica. He seems quite unphased by people whereas ones we've had in the past have been quite timid in comparison.
DeleteJa de eerste rechts kijkt heel gemoedelijk ,maar de onderste zegt meer van wat kom je hier doen,ik vind dat je hier heel mooi de verschillende koppen laat zien met hun karakters.
ReplyDeleteDank u voor uw reactie. Ik zie dat je woont in de buurt waar ik gebruikt om te verblijven met vrienden in Klaaswaal.
DeleteHe certainly does look puzzled!
ReplyDeleteI was surprised, Meike, but I really do think he has an expression on his face.
DeleteI think that cows can have moods. I think these guys were probably perturbed because some photographer interrupted their lunch!
ReplyDeleteThat's a possibility Red.
DeleteHa! And she is keeping a peripheral eye on him too!
ReplyDeleteI know a man (not hubby) that just has that grumpy look about him, even when he's not. Imagine the first impressions people have of him. That would be tough!
I wonder Lisa if other cattle look at him and think he's grumpy.
DeleteHe looks like someone just called him a "stroppy cow"!
ReplyDeleteYes, Cat, he's probably saying "I'm a bull mate don't you call me a cow!"
Deletethey are playing good cow / bad cow!!
ReplyDeleteGood to see you here Doreen. Thanks for the comment. I hadn't thought of that but it could well be the explanation.
DeleteNot someone I'd like to get in the way of in a dark field, I'd say, that bullock!
ReplyDeleteI think he'd probably be more scared of you than you of him Jenny.
