Fluffy foals learning about cows!!

Our foals live in a forty foot round pen over the winter, bedded down with a round bale of haylage in, from there they can watch the world going by.  Today the cows were coming in to be wormed and for some calves to be weaned.  Lots of banging (modern the crush is not!) and lots of shouting goes on!



I have no idea why Chipita looks like a midget racing whippet in this photo as she is nearly as big as Malambo and built like a tank!


Chip says "my I'm glad I'm not a calf!"  Colin shakes his head and says "at least you are a girl"



Arrayan offered his services for roping some calves but then snoozed when he was rejected!


Colin looks on horrified as Chip steals his carrot.


There were still cows going through the crush but the foals soon got bored and went back to eating, a wee snack before an afternoon snooze.

"A wee snack before an afternoon snooze."

Man! Those foals have some good ideas!
