Mixing the herd
We moved 7 of the holsteins in with the scottish highlander's this past weekend. Last summer/fall they lived in the same pasture separated by a fence but now there are no boundaries. You can see 2 of them checking each other out, but, on the whole it was pretty uneventful and they choose not to co-mingle.
My husband, Paul, and I started a farm last year (2008). We began with chickens and eggs and Paul quickly became known as 'The Egg Man' at work (hence, the name of our website). I am the other half of the equation...I am 'The Egg Man's Wife'. (Feminist Note: Being the Egg Man's wife is not meant to imply any subordination or lack of personal identity. We are equal partners and together we are living our dream!)
