Magic Cows!

Its been fairly quiet with all the animals at the fen lately. The fight between the bulls has dropped off. Ewan and Billy seem to have made a new gang, and are avoiding Edmund and the rest of the herd. We are expecting the possibility of three new foals in the next few weeks, the mares having foaled around this time last year, so I shall keep you posted with them.
The only eventful, and slightly frustrating thing to happen is the mystery of the super flexible cows! We have had two troublesome cows find their way through some fencing, where to them, the grass definitely looks greener! They are mother and daughter, but are in different herds, and seem to be able to squeeze through any slightly slack fencing! I have spent a long while cow proofing a lot of fence lines and fighting with a lot of barbed wire and this, thankfully, has stopped them. Though we are at a loss as to how they managed to get through without leaving any hint of passage, or cow shaped holes in the fences! I think they may even have apperated there!
