Apologies for the fuzzy photos, taken several years ago by this mediocre photographer with a mediocre camera.
You want me to what?
To get up and move?
To get off my butt
And to get in the groove?
A cow hand today
Has no need of a horse,
His ride needs no hay,
It’s a quad ride, of course.

That’s a great post with your accompanying photos, Anneli. When cows don’t want to move you have to make them!

Anneli, I love your poem and photos! It is quite an art to herding the cattle and collecting the stray ones – and it looks fun on the quad bike!

Loved the hot of the Used Cow lot. Great to have a sense of humour. I think cattle are easier to drive than sheep, watching all the sheep herding going on down in NZ with both quads and dogs. Have a good Friday Anneli. Allan

It was a first for me too. At first I thought I wasn’t reading it right.
Then I chuckled and took the picture.
