Some Visitors are Unexpected.

So… I find three chooks up by the house – scold them and get them to follow me back to their side of the yard.
Only to find this among the raspberries –

Eeek!
After a certain amount of ‘shooing’ I moved him (I think) up under the plum trees.

Cow and chooks all rather content so left them there to go share the good news with Jeff that we had a ‘slight problem’

Jeff had cleared a bit much near the fence where part of the tree has fallen on it… the cow took advantage.
Mind you… it was an impressive cross country event to get over the wires and through the timber to the raspberry patch!

We started by using one of our old gates to shore up the fence on the highway side as I wasn’t happy with the state of the wires and cows were poking their heads out a bit far for my liking.
Once that was secure, we both did synchronised shooing to get our bovine visitor back over with his friends.

(Who I am sure were a bit jealous as our grass is definitely greener!)
Then – more creative fencing.

So far so good – no cows in the yard today!

My niece Emma decided to call this one Lukus.
Lukus was still looking wistfully over to our side.
But he left us a present!
Organic fertiliser!!

Will be glad when this job is done and dusted!

Never a dull moment hey?
Hope your day involved less cow issues!!
Cheers!
