A Cattle Farm nearby Picton

The cows at this farm were gentle, slow in movement and enjoyable in life, unlike those bulls running at the bullfighters in Spain. Not only they could feed on the soft green grass any time they liked, but also lie down to rest and have sunbathing after a grass meal.

The farm looked crowded with a great number of cattle, whose colours vary from light brown, brown, dark brown to black.

There was a number card stapled on the right ear of each cow. The cards are in different colours, red or blue or yellow. All these cows were healthy. The cow with beautiful patches in the second photo could be the star of any dairy product of New Zealand.

The cows here were disciplined, not so active because they were all on the feeding ground. I remember the scenes of happy students of La Salle Primary School and Maryknoll Convent School running and chasing one another round and round at recess.

What a peaceful scene here and what busy-running scenes at the two primary schools!
