Barnyard Babes

A nice crisp day here and perfect for a drive to go see some cows in the neighborhood.

I came upon this heifer barn at a local dairy and stopped to admire the girls as they ate their breakfast out of their feed bunk.




Cows are always curious.  She was checking me out.


She called her 2 friends over..



Mavis, the cow dog, was getting nervous.  She dislikes being in close proximity to bovines.



I love cows of a different color....


And in almost every crowd there is a .......


Blonde.

I was going to say red head, but the first cow by the fence checking me out was a dark red and this one is a dark golden blonde.



Got a favorite cow color?

  7. I like them all, but I do think that the brown ones are kind of cuter than the rest...

  11. When we were living in Oklahoma we came across a group of cows by a fence. They just stopped and looked at us. Then I decided to moo like a cow. I thought I'd communicate with them. They looked startled and ran away. So much for talking to cows.

  12. I don't know that I have a favorite cow color but the contrast of the blonde is amazing.

    There is always that unique one of the bunch that stands out.

    Thanks for sharing this fun-filled adventure with us!

    Brilliant job!

    A+
