A big yellow cow. Well she isn’t mine, just a visitor. She lives next door and has a calf. Did you know cows can jump fences? Well she takes after her mom who could jump fences.
She seems to enjoy grazing in our hay fields without the competition of her herd (I guess they can’t jump fences).
I find her antics amusing and enjoy seeing her visit. Sometimes she comes over and grazes a while and goes home. Some days she stays most of the day and goes home at dusk.
Her owner keeps coming to get her and tries to prevent her visits, but I think it is just giving her owner exercise.
The cow is named Penny or Bad Penny according to her owner. Once in a while, Penny comes too close to the house and if I walk out with a garden stake or walking stick and approach, she ambles back to the farther fields. After all, what are 30 acres of farmland, mostly hayfields for during the fall and winter, but to feed the cow? And she is willing to share the field with my free ranging hens.
