In The RED - Ayrshires


7 miles from my house there is a small field that supports a young group of Ayrshires for a few months of the year.

Last week I was happy to see them eating the tall grass.

Of course I had to pull over and chat with them.






I make no bones about it, I LOVE RED cows!

Got a favorite breed or color ?

Have a Moooovelous Monday!!!

  2. Love your blog. Guess I've always been a want-to-be farmer, but living in the suburbs of NJ doesn't help. Send me a picture of your favorite cow (picture needs to have good light source) and I'll paint it for you.

  3. Hmm..I don't think I know enough about breeds or colors of cows! I'm glad you stopped to chat with them.

  5. Love those red & cream cows. Each one's coat is a work of art. I used to favor classic black & white cows, but I have been swayed by your photos to have a new appreciation for the reds.
    They have such cute faces, especially in the last photo where all 3 are looking very interested in what you are doing. The way they are arranged in the last photo has wonderful balanced with the 2 end cows facing in opposite directions & the center cow facing forward. it makes for great composition.
    I think the middle cow with the ears raised looks a bit silly as it inspects you. I never thought I would consider cows as being beautiful, but these reds are definitely special.

  7. I like cows in general but I'm very partial to Jerseys and Scottish Highlands. I also enjoy watching a pasture of Herefords and I do like Devons and Dexters.

    Thanks for the pics.

  10. They are beautiful. I had no idea how many different types of cows there were until I worked for a large agricultural fair in our area for several years. My favorite thing to watch was the cow showings (okay that and the littlest 4-h'ers showing their goats).

    Thanks for sharing on A Humble Bumble's Healthy Tuesdays Blog Hop, I hope you will join us again next week!
