Out all night

While the cows have been going out during the day for the past ten days, they have still been staying in overnight. But last night was another step forward into summer, when they went back out to graze after evening milking. So there was no need for Henry or James to go down the buildings last thing at night "to shove the silage up".

When the cows went out for the first time they went into The Meadow - the long field opposite our lane end. They did their job well and ate off all the grass. It's now been limed, ploughed, stone picked and reseeded. Watch out for green shoots soon.
