My neighbour does have wintering barns but the dairy herd is still put out in the paddock to graze for a six hour stretch. Just love the photos the English country side is so different to our own - yet sometimes the same. Hope you are keeping warm.<BR/>LizLizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05100812038496671783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-14610400641001609602008-10-17T15:51:00.000-07:002008-10-17T15:51:00.000-07:00I'm such a city girl.

Love your stories about farming in York...Hi Weaver. Love your stories about farming in Yorkshire. From about the time I was 10 years old, my father rented a farmhouse to live in. He wasn't a farmer by trade, but many farmers bought up small farms and developed a co-op. They farme the land and rented the buildings. Anyway, my dad was a farmer wanna be. We had a cow, a couple pigs, chickens, dogs, cats, and always a horse or two. I had the best childhood. Farm kids and their families always made the best of what life had to offer. We amused ourselves playing flashlight tag in cornfields, swimming in the creek, and riding horses. You have an enviable life, Weaver. I enjoy reading your blog and seeing your lovely, serene photos. Thanks much for sharing!Debra (a/k/a Doris, Mimi)https://www.blogger.com/profile/12703142765614822707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-32234067027148616712008-10-17T12:25:00.000-07:002008-10-17T12:25:00.000-07:00Thanks for your visit!

It's a good idea to have them out as long as possible. The Dutch cows are out until November, then they will be stabled until spring.Reader Wilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06384603525251159272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-50086244684586663972008-10-17T11:34:00.000-07:002008-10-17T11:34:00.000-07:00Thank you for visiting, Draagonstar.

I lived on an off-shore Irish island for 12 years - had hens, duck, goats (cow milk sensitivity) and a beef cow. This last came to me because I cared for a friend's free-range herd when he was on the mainland, and I hand-reared her when her mother couldn't cope.<BR/>My son drove a "grey diesel" (Fergie TE20) when he was 12.<BR/><BR/>I liked your poem - the second one appealed to me more, but I'm not an expert. You asked about an acute accent: i don't know if your keyboard works like mine, but I get é or ú or any accented vowels by holding Ctrl and Alt and pressing the letter. It's worth a try!Dragonstarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05935435587527038459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-89669065654832545692008-10-17T08:20:00.000-07:002008-10-17T08:20:00.000-07:00Ha ha!

One day you will have to tell us all your story, of how you entered into the farming existence and manure turned to muck. <BR/><BR/>So you have been in the west! That's great! Well, you have been close to my home, as I live just a little south of Salt Lake along the mountains.Red Cloverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11905304732342794946noreply@blogger.com
