The Accidental Cow Whisperer

The cows keep escaping from their field, the land on the farm is a public freeway, so walkers and cyclists passing through are not very diligent about closing the gate behind them, and the cows are opportunists, though they mostly just linger outside my house. This causes mass panic as everyone on the farm gathers, whips in hand, trying to co-erce them back to their pasture.
I decided to show them how it's done, no whips, just trust. Fortunately, Simon had his phone to hand and captured it on video. You can see "my cow" getting a little kiss from me. I know nothing about cows, but they seem to like me. Apparently I am a natural cow woman, it doesn't sound very becoming does it? :)

  9. That's so great! Cows freak me out, I've no idea why, they seem to possess some weird alien intelligence I can't understand, so it's lovely to see such a calm communion, ~& I completely agree humans are too quick to bully animals into submission.

  10. I love it! I think cows have really sweet faces and they clearly like you.
    I think I am a secret cat whisperer. Not quite as impressive really!
