We are bringing the cows in for the winter on Monday 10th November. We're fortunate that autumn has not been too wet following the dry summer, as the grass has kept growing and the fields haven't become 'poached' by cows’ feet.

We moved them from the fields into the barn, where they'll be kept nice and dry. Really pleased to have made the hay in the sunshine and got them stored s
