Cows are out... again... and again...

The cows decided they were bored with their field and that it would be more interesting to live in the garden and on the drive.
They escaped three times on Saturday. We called the farmer after the 2nd escape when it became clear that it wasn't just a matter of a bit of fence being damaged by accident and them taking advantage of it. It took him some time to arrive, so we decided to power up the fence (the power hasn't been on the whole time they have been here). When he arrived (with his wife, son and father) he thought they should respect the fence now. However when I opened the front door on Sunday morning to take Poppy for a pee there was a cow staring at me. It ran off when it saw me (the sight of me first thing in the morning is a bit scary after all).

We called the farmer again and he turned up with his father and son to strim and scythe round the fence and fix up a few bits so the wire was at a better height.
While he was here they staged yet another break out.

But since family Baute finished with the fence they seem to be staying in the field. The garden is a bit covered in cow pats and big divits where their feet pressed in under their great weight (they are big big cows). Exciting work for Ruth and Huw helping herd cows!
