It's still all going on out the kitchen window. If you're observant, you can read the ear tag of the calf on left, it's Hyacinth, for those who can't.

The no name cow on the right is no lady because seconds after taking the pic, she put her head down, gave a massive head butt and nearly lifted poor Hyacinth off her hooves. #CowsOfMastodon #Farming

Out of the kitchen window, a Belted Galloway cow on right and calf on left, are close by the wooden barrier fence that keeps most animals (but not the bull) off the window.

Dexters! I don’t think the grow much bigger than this - very compact beasties. Ryeland sheep in the background. #CowsOfMastodon

A group of small cows. Not even as high as the multi-barred metal field gate they are peering through. Most are black but there’s a brown one near the middle which is standing more upright than the others and has a tufty top to its head. They all have bright yellow ear tags. The field is green grass apart from near the gate which has been trampled and is brown and muddy. Hedges and trees in the distance.

It's been a grey bank holiday Monday and it's still grey with light rain driven by a very strong wind. After the skittish behaviour of the cattle this morning, they've settled down into their new field.

The bull is tucked right into the far left corner with the best position for shelter, with his ladies and his offspring around him.

Some of the calves are quite young, much younger than the breeding heifers that were in this field last week. #CowsOfMastodon #Farming

Belted Galloway cattle with calves at foot are standing in the corner of a field heads down with their backs to the wind. There's a dry stone wall on left and my pick up visible over their heads.

The Belties are back, these are breeding calves as they're all named on their ear tags.

They're the Ffabulous ladies as their names all start with F. There's Florence, Flora, Fatima and so on.

Flossie is having a laugh at us through the kitchen window.

Expect more of this sort of nonsense.

Belted Galloway calves gather by the wooden fence outside the kitchen window. There are ferns, houseplants, inside obscuring the view a little.

One of the calves, called Flossie by its ear tag, looks in the window. It is caught mid-chew, as if it's laughing.

While sat on a grassy bank by the river's edge, busy snapping damsel flies, my wife gave me a call. So I was too distracted to notice the three curious cows that had crept up behind me and were looking over my shoulder to see what I was doing. Now, I adore cows, so I reached out and started petting their noses, which amused me because then I noticed a couple and their daughter trapped behind a gate, too afraid of the cows to continue along the path, astonished at my calmness #CowsOfMastodon

A soft focus magical shot of three black and white dairy cows grazing in a small clearing of a wooded area, next to the river's edge

Shot of a cow's head and shoulders, the top of its head and ears just missing the frame, looking down at the lil' person taking her photo from ground level

#PhotoOfTheDay We're watching moo..

Three red brown cows stand in a lush green meadow, peering curiously through a barb wire fence. The middle cow has her head low to stare at me, nose thrust forward, paddle ears sticking out comically.

Colour photograph of a rough quad bike track running uphill away from the viewer through tufty grass. Just to the right of the track is a small rough-coated grey and white cow, standing side on but looking at the camera. There is blue sky.

I nearly forgot, I met this fearsome beast today.

By the look of their new #Album #Cover, Flock of Seagulls have let themselves go in recent years. Their music is still great though. #80s #Music #CowsOfMastodon

Four highland cattle look moodily into the camera lenses. All with exaggerated long fringes. Shadows and sunlight dapple the photo. Dominance of glossy ginger.

The first beltie I’ve spotted since moving to Wales.

Photo of a Belted Galloway (beltie) cow standing on a moorland slope looking at the camera. She is black with a broad white ‘belt’. She is wearing a collar with perhaps a tracking device on. There is yellow flowered gorse behind and a tree covered slope beyond.

Eine braune Kuh liegt gemütlich am Wegrand, in der Ferne grüne Hügel und ein paar Bäume, an einem ziemlich sonnigen Tag, mit leicht bewölktem Himmel. / A brown cow rests beside a dirt path on a sunny day. Green hills and a few trees are visible in the background under a partly cloudy sky.

Mom's new heifer calf: she escaped from her enclosure this evening -- the kids, Mom, and I tried to corral her and she is FAST. She did multiple laps, finally got tired, & I was able to approach & fashion a halter out of a lead.
