In the field of the 'mad' cows, creeping over the
rough ground, looking for them through the foliage.
Being quiet. careful, hushed by Harry. Not knowing if
he's pulling my leg, being over-protective or whether
there really is something wild and dangerous hidden
from sight.
Lowering a metal pen on the back of a tractor down over a newly-born calf, to catch it, safely, away from a potentially nervous, aggressive mother
Moving machines, swopping over trailors and pens. Time. Safety making things complicated. Level of risk.
A joke with a man come to help: Harry's 'wild' cattle. Is this a criticism or a complement? Somehow a comment about H, his cows an extension of his person. How you make choices; your skill as a farmer; husbandry. Reputation.
