All has been quiet since the heifers got over the loss of their babies being separated and moved to the smaller pastures. The young heifers don’t need to be near Mr Leonardo until Miz Robin says so.. anyways... the large herd is now over here on us and because there are so many of them I don’t try to hand-feed all of them over the fence. I don’t even mess with the donkeys, Maude & Mary, cuz it just doesn’t seem fair.
So- they don’t typically “call to me” to get my attention nor do I take much notice of their presence.
But- today! All of a sudden the biggest part of the 60+herd had just walked across the dike and were beginning to fan out around the corner of the fence when all of a sudden they began to bugle! All of them in a great chorus and as if a conductor had dropped the stick and given them their cue!! I ran out on the deck to see what could be the matter - when I noticed Hylfi-cat gambooling in front of them!! Yup!! They were talking to Hylfi!! They weren’t afraid of her nor were they disturbed by her- it was as if they were “cheering her” along as she chased shadow phantoms! Too funny!
This photo was actually from a few days before with the smaller herd! If these girls weren't in the herd of this morning's story..... what is it about this corner and this cat that causes them to pause in their daily routine and give attention? I dunno... but, it's something!!
