8 months pregnant...

...and looking rather like a barrage balloon! We have about 30 cows that are due to calve from early October. They have been on a diet for several weeks now, and will be for the rest of their term. Slim cows calve much more easily than over-weight cows. You can probably see that they have eaten the grass in this field as low as possible. But they also have a feeder full of newly harvested golden barley straw. They enjoy it and it's full of vitamins and filling fibre. It's a bit like one of those diets where you are allowed to eat as many green vegetables as you like. No matter how much you eat, you still lose weight :-))
