Looks like they have a good life for a cow! But then I guess anything is better than a feed lot!!! Nice one Betty!

Great country feeling Betty - so are these the famous Jersey Milk cows??? :)

@Mandy Provan: Well, not quite yet milk cows... they are heifers, Holstein. But yes, famous Jersey cows! Of the few that are left!
Chris from South Jersey, United States
Moooo! Great shot - very peaceful and a nice composition with the fence and wagon.

@Chris: Thank you, Chris!
Tracey from White Hall, United States
Love the capture! They all seem to have their own personality...the one in the back is mooing, the one is trying to find any spot of shade and one is obviously hungry!

@Tracey: Thanks, Tracey! I got a lot of the shots of the hungry one... it was very curious, too!
@Michael Skorulski: Thank you, Michael.

I can't help but think about Chick-fil-a: "Eat Mor Chikn" adds whenever I see these.

@Viewfinder: I have a potholder with that saying!
Judy from Brooksville-Florida,, United States
Happy Heifers for sure. I chuckle with VF - the one in front could be wearin' that "Eat Mor Chicn" sign.
I added that to a calf shot I took - I'll have to hunt it up!

Not that much difference between there and here except that most of our cattle would be of the beef variety. I like the sunshine and the entire photo... I know how it feels to be there.

@Earnest: This county had a lot more dairy than beef, but the dairy is slowly disappearing!
Peter Miller from Lichfield, United Kingdom
They sure look like they are having a lazy old time

MJ from Delaware, United States
what a great scene... I love the green of the grass... and the shiny coats of the cows...

@MJ: I wanted to get a shot of the green before it turns brown in the heat of summer!
Marion from Nanaimo, BC, Canada
Wonderful pastoral scene. Hope those bears don't go anywhere near this. Love the green of the fields.
3 Jun 2008 7:27pm
@Marion: This is several miles from the bears... but I'm sure the bears have been through these fields at some point!
Observing from Chester, United Kingdom
Easy to see which cow has more brains....! Lovely bright clean shot.

I love the girls who are laying in the shade. A happy little shot.

very nice compositon. It's nice that you show the whole scene and not just the one front beauty!
