. . . but it's not always, "la meme chose".
Today Henry and James took three new calved cows and heifers to Penrith Shorthorn Show and Sale. In "The Olden Days" this was a much bigger event, but it's still going strong. There was plenty of interest round the ring and we got the two highest prices with two of our cows. Overall we were very pleased. I stayed at home, so there are no photographs - but here's one of Strickley Goldie 4 at Penrith in the 30's (I think). And that's one thing that's not the same - it's a long time since we had cows looking like that. Look at photos on our website to see the changes in breeding.
Selling three in-milk cows means there will be less milk in the tank tonight, but we've just brought in a cow that calved last night, and two more are on calving.
Calvings and new calves in the herd - that is "la meme chose".
