I see the farmers' fields here and all that is going on - but never get a clear explanation because I don't know any of the farmers - they live quite a ways from our house in the city.JoAnn ( Scene Through My Eyes)https://www.blogger.com/profile/12621061028973446378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-6963879406429932272015-11-05T17:32:33.832-08:002015-11-05T17:32:33.832-08:00Thank you for the insight into the farming year, e...Thank you for the insight into the farming year, especially regarding the animals. I now live on the edge of Bodmin Moor and I shall be interested to see if any of the animals are removed from the Moor to over-winter under cover. I suspect they won't - I've been on the Moor in all seasons and never noticed a lack of livestock - sheep, cattle and ponies. <br />Mind you, with today's thick fog, I didn't see any at all! Just rocks looming through the gloom as I walked my dog.Ramblerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00914227535503925006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-22055208645471953952015-11-05T13:21:05.390-08:002015-11-05T13:21:05.390-08:00Gwil - what a lovely thought.

My worries are in perspective too.<br /><br />Pat - we know when our farming year has turned the wheel when the cattle go into the barns over winter on 1st December (never earlier, though they sometimes come out before 1st March if it has been dry).

Although I know nothing about farming I enjoy hearing about it through your posts. I think I am far too sentimental over animals to have ever been a farmer's wife but am happy to eat meat as long as the deed has been done for me!Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06826501916623305535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-70858061473057233782015-11-05T12:19:57.920-08:002015-11-05T12:19:57.920-08:00I love farm work...and I especially love work for ...I love farm work...and I especially love work for cows.

The beef cattle and their calves were taken off two weeks ago. 70% of the adult cows have come to the end of their reproductive lives and have gone to market. Their calves will be weaned and the remaining pregnant cows will stay in the stock yards until April until they and their new calves return to the reserve.Derek Faulknerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05140363868104172311noreply@blogger.com
