Happy Winter Solstace

Well, winter is here but the hay is good.

The barn keeps us sheltered from the wind and rain, but we love snow as long as there is plentiful good hay and water. Ice is a problem. We are not graceful on ice in spite of having four legs and a rather suspicious approach.

When the sun shines we like to lay down in the barn and chew our cuds. Our miraculous stomachs can in this way digest the cellulose. Our farmers Janet and Nort put in fresh bedding every week. Mixed with our manure, this will make a rich contribution to spread for growing more good hay.

We play games with each other, guessing which part of which field that bale of hay came from. We are all growing calves, due in April. Life is good.

Enjoy your winter, and chew carefully. Leap and Gail send their best.

Eve the cow.
