life in the country

Having recently brought a small farm in the country, I have been continuously amazed  at some of the things I have seen. Mainly to do with live stock. Never again will I think a cow is brainless or that sheep are stupid. One day when heading into town around about milking time, I was following behind a car that had to stop to let the cows cross the road. Half the cows had already crossed over the other half were yet to do so. The car in front of me took off and I followed behind it, I proceeded to turn around to watch the cows as there was a truck fast approaching the crossing. This particular cow stopped looked to the left looked to the right, back to the left back to the right again saw all was clear and crossed the road. By the time this cow had crossed the truck had reached the crossing and the other cows waited for it to go past before they crossed. Now this is very true I only wished I had a video camera at the time. There was no farmer in sight. Usually there will be a farmer on his quad supervising this crossing the road procedure, but not this day.
Months later it was shearing time. We had to get our sheep up to the top paddock in wait for the shearer. Our Ram who we named Rambo was not having a bar of this................................ to be continued.
