I Found the Cows

Some of you have read about the construction going on behind my home. The dairy farm was purchased and now about 40-50 homes have been built. Cows are gone. They were my neighbors since day one. Went out scouting to peek in the windows of the three homes left that are not sold yet. And I found a few cows behind one of the houses. Seems the farm was sold but perhaps they kept a few for themselves. But these were brown and black cows. My former neighbors were Holstein's (black & white cows). But I was excited just the same. Doesn't take much for me. ha! I took a quick snap with my phone. There was a barbwire fence between us, so I couldn't get any closer. Did I mention it is 95 degrees F outside with the sunshine? Yep, it was a hot walk. But I was surprised one of the houses had an unlocked door and the A/C was on. Somebody messed up it seems. Worked out good for me and no alarms went off when I opened the door, that I know of. That was all the excitement I could handle outside for today. A good day for everyone?

@crazyhorseladycx I knew these were the last ones to be built and was curious. The farmers sill live in a house behind these houses and apparently have just enough land left for these few cattle.

You are right, did not even think of that. And they have only a few as compared to an entire dairy farm. Downsized. Surprised myself as well, I was living on the edge.

I hope the cows stick around for awhile. Someone across the lake from me has cows I hear them mooing..Actually, I think they are beef cattle I have seen them. Nothing against beef cattle farmers, but I could never care for animals and then eat them..it would turn me vegetarian very fast!

There was always a dairy farm, I saw these cows and just lose seeing the animals. I rarely eat meat.

I have a horse, but no cows. Do they make good riding animals?
