cattle

Mostly the cattle in the fields around Colwall, fortunately all pretty friendly if approached right. I was also allowed into the 'maternity ward' of the Arnisdale herd for some real highlanders in May 07 and am gradually adding other breeds

Ok Chris, I'm hooked; is the short haired bit around the bull's eye natural/genetic or something the milk maid does with a small pair of round tipped scissors?

Nice 'cow pics' by the way, you have a good eye for the photogenic.
Do you have to be in the right Mooooo'd to take these?
