GLAD we have nice quiet cows today.
A quick paddock change and they had to walk along next to where our one-wire electric fence is now suspended over a creek.
We've had three of the wettest rainfall years recorded in this area in the past four years.
The most recent big run really gouged out the bank despite our best efforts to keep cattle off them for the most part. This week another metre or so has tumbled to the creek leaving this gaping hole and an interesting bit of suspension fencing.
Fortunately the girls are a pretty quiet bunch. Some used to live in mountains at Marlborough and were mustered by helicopter only twice a year.
They get to see a lot more of us today. They quietly poked along very orderly "minding the
gap" but a couple couldn't resist sticking their heads over for a closer look.
They are curious creatures.
I sure hope none fall in under the wire.
ReplyDeleteThink we'll be putting up a new laneway before we get more calves! Has claimed one little wallaby which had to go all the way down and escape by swimming across the creek.
