Our Moiles finally go out to grass.

We had our annual herd test last Monday. This is a compulsory Dept of Agriculture test carried out each year in order to eradicate Bovine TB and Brucellosis. The results are extremely important, because if you fail, our herd is locked up and no live animals can be sold. A real headache!.
Thankfully our herd is clear for TB and we are awaiting the results for Brucellosis.

Our stock bull Damhead McCabe

We just call him "The Bull" for short. (obvious I know, sorry)

Oh, and just to say, he's not behind bars for any particular reason!

So, with the winter fodder all used up, and straw reserves at an all time low, it was time to let our Irish Moiled Cattle out to grass. And as the following photos show, they didn't take much persuading.

I think thats called 'High Tailing It'
