“Poops, hooves & Highland shenanigans – life with the cows is never dull!”

It’s been a busy time with the cows! They’ve been with us for over a year now, so it was time for the grand ‘poop collection’. A couple of days spent waiting on the right moment for samples, followed by a vet visit for a quick wee jag all round (jab/injection for the non-Scots). The boys weren’t too impressed with that part! As a result we’re putting together a strong, safe handling area to make things easier for them (and us!) as they grow.

We’ve also begun extending the boys’ enclosure, adding extra drainage, and creating a hard-standing area to keep their hooves happy and healthy. All these projects are made possible thanks to the wonderful support of the Adopt a Highland Cow scheme!
