Views from the farm

I guess everyone is entitled to their own view.....?

I don't know! These people who let the grass grow under their feet.

A group of heifer calves, who obvioulsy like having their photo taken,

And last night, moving them to a new field. Following the Pied Piper in front with his bag of cake.

Last week Farners Guardian had an article about us as part of the preview for The Royal Highland Show. It's now online, so if you want to know a bit more about our farm -

Yesterday our son James (on the left) was elected President of The Dairy Shorthorn Society. It's an honour not just for him, but for The Strickley Herd

There is a small error towards the end - 100 school visits should read, 25 school visits. The print and App versions were correct, but this one was not corrected.

I haven't posted any photos lately (not becasue I can't!) but I just haven't got round to it. So here's a few to make up for it - 

Looking towards our farm (from The Helm on the outskirts of Kendal)

Mackeral Skies & Milk Cows

Looking for trouble

Cows on a Drumlin (geological term - look it up!)

Coming home

And just a few more  . .

Cows at work

As we're organic we don't spray weeds etc - but if the docks get really bad (sometimes you just have to shut your eyes to them) - we use a "lazy dog" gadget to pull them out. 

And finally for now - it's not just grassland and cows here - we have an ancient wood and a not as ancient large pond (1.2 acres, so quite a bit bigger than your average garden pond).

Sorry - that last picture is too big - editting soon!

Done!
