New field for the cows - will they be there in the morning??

The (highland) cows have been living with the 'meat' sheep flock for over a year as they wouldn't stay in a field with 'normal' electric fence around it and the sheep are in more secure electric mesh. We have been nervous about trying them in one of the other fields because it is such an effort when they escape and we have to go trailing round all the neighbours and the countryside looking for them. We have been brave and decided to give it a go. The fence round the hay field is in reasonably good condition, and not too high and the grass in there needs eating down (as we only hayed a little bit of it).


We have news on the Jersey cows. The passport is due to arrive this week and the current owner is hiring a van to bring them over some time next week.
