Today's picture of the latest challenging situation that befell the simple, honest country folk of Milton Farm captures the moments following the reinstating of order on Creech Hill this morning.
This followed a night of awfulness in which some unseen spectre left a vital gate open between 16 dry cows and 27 young heifers. Quite incredibly, it took just two of us much less than an hour to right this wrong and we opted to employ the simplest method which was surely doomed to fail.
But it did not.
It seems there is not much that cannot be achieved with some buckets of feed, a pick up truck and an electric fence. Indeed, a tribute to the smooth running of the operation was the noticeable lack of extreme swearing clouding the air. Although the sky was blue, our tongues did not turn the air blue which, instead, remained as innocent and wholesome as the heifers.
