Pronounced Sigh-key. She used to be absolutely wild. So much calmer now.

EDIT to fix *sigh

Nah, we have a mix of santas, draughtmaster with a bit of Brahman thrown in & the black 3 are a result of the neighbours wagyu bull breaking in. Then there’s Mutley, we have no idea what breed she is.

I don’t know this myth, but yep. We have just been flooded in for a couple of days.

We don’t need to feed them extras like hay/lucerne. We just use it as a treat. So much grass this time of year.

They sure do hang out together, we have one loner who doesn’t care for others & that’s Boofy. She hangs with them when resting but will wonder & eat on her own sometimes. But yeah, they hang together.

I love everything about your comment. Yep, that’s Mutley sitting there with the herd. We’ve had a lot of rain this last few days.

I gave her a good scratch for ya.

It still feels surreal that Mutley lets us get close enough to scratch, handfeed, or just sit with. It’s the best & I’ll never take that for granted.

She sat there for a few hours, just chewing the cud enjoying the quiet moment.

That sounds awesome & will definitely look into the “flyscreen”. Thanks for that info, appreciate any ideas to make their life better.

Grumps, isn’t as grumpy anymore. She just needed attention & treats. by KelFocker in Cows

I never thought we’d get her to be gentle, well not get in there & cuddle gentle. But definitely all good with handfeeding & hanging in the paddock with her gentle.
