De-lousing the cattle

Wednesday, September 23rd 2009

The cattle had their de-lousing treatment today. Keith, our friendly local farmer comes every 3 months to check them and treat them for lice and worms.

The cattle

They were all waiting in the middle field and we thought they would go into the pen without much ado.
Unfortunately not! Half an hour later we were still running around the field after McGregor and Fraser, who refused to go in the pen.

McGregor and Fraser

We tempted them in with a bucket of food and some judicious running!

Here's Keith relaxing when it was all over.
