Bye bye Hoppy

Hoppy's new owners decided they wanted him earlier than they originally said. So Hoppy has been whisked away to a new home and we have a new friend for Hainoa. She is a similar colour to Hoppy, sadly we can't remember her name. It was something about the female name for god (the highland cow man tried to explain the name) and started with H but sounded more like it started with an F I think... but maybe some other letter. I have emailed and asked for a reminder. She seems very friendly anyway.

We were a bit concerned Hainoa is so shy and nervous compared to Hoppy and the new friend and that she was unusually nervy and would never be as calm as the adult cows we saw. But the Sebastien (the cow man) assured us that Hoppy and the new friend are the exceptions and most young highland cows are nervous and shy, then by they are 2 years old they calm down and are less so. He said that he doesn't have problems with the little cows escaping because he has their mothers. Sometimes they go for a little walk about but always come home to mum. He said though that other people find the little cows a bit of a nuisance, then when they are a bit older they stay in the field fine. Not sure what age 'a bit older' is!
