Cows

Below is a picture of the only cows left we are feeding milk to! It was so quick to feed them yesterday! There are 15 of them.


This is what 113 calves look like in a paddock together.


Here is a better view of it...can you count them all?


This is Matt the Cow. He's 2 and the biggest one on the farm. He gave me a scare the other day...I had my back to the cows trying to get a gate open and he came up behind me and mooed...really loudly....sounds like something you would do matt! :P

Other things to note:

- I looked at the moon with binoculars the other night...it was really cool looking and there are different craters from back home! But, I was amazed at how much detail I could see on the moon.

-there is a big thing going on where aliens are supposed to be over New Zealand in the next couple days starting last night I think...i haven't seen any so far!

-bri-yes, i often feel like a dinosaur is going to jump out of the trees at me :) but i don't mind, i think it would be super cool to see a dino!

-devon-haha yes i go hiking by myself...i just used the self timer on my camera:) and sometimes i listen to my ipod and sometimes just the sounds of nature :)

- if you win the lottery here you get the whole winnings - no tax taken out!!! maybe i should get a ticket

-i was looking a pics of the cows from when i first got here - they've grown so much! i can't believe it! Jenny reckons about another 50 of them will be ready to go next week!! :(

-I can't believe Oct. is almost 1/2 way over...i'm going to have to start looking for somewhere new to go!

-Pam and Devon the cows were caught cuddling by the water trough again :)


-um...i think that's all the interesting news i have for today!

-I miss everyone!

thats cool. are there any tales about cow mutalations from New Zealanders? thats when cows are found mysteriously dead, having parts surgically removed...

Hey,theres matt hte cow. he looks like a good cow, eating his grass and behaving him self. and he likes to startle you, haha. I only make moo gestures to the girls at dairy queen. too bad he cant talk, if he's anthing like me he'd enjoy teasing you even more!
