We have brought back the bulls for the winter, and sent most of the cows that were grazing here off to a larger farm (with a larger barn) for the year.
One of the cows that stayed behind is a first time mother and she has been bellowing like no other since her calf was taken away.
Now I know this is a farm and we are doing the right thing by them doing this, but I've gotta tell you - all I can hear is the pain of a mother who has had her child taken away.
I'm still a little soft for the farm, but better than I was at the beginning of Summer. Moments like these, though, just tear me up.

"It's up in the morning and on the downs
Little white clouds like gambolling lambs
And I am breathless over you"
And I just say: "Yes. This."

Dude! I had to leave my new NEPHEW and come home and I cried for an hour. I can't imagine how a mommy would feel.
My SIL made the mistake of planting her herb garden too close to the pig pen. She got into the habit of showering the pigs when she watered the garden and they came running every time they saw her.
I couldn't do that. I am too much of a mother to do that. But I know it must be done.
That right there is the kind of empathy that could put an end to all wars.
Wow, first the duck being eaten and now the mama-cow.
I'd neet Valium.
