Good fences, good cattle

This morning as the dogs and I left the golf course, a single beast came trotting up to the gate of the paddock where the cattle are enclosed. 
A single animal trotted up the gate as we were leaving the golf course
This wasn't the same beast as the one who always runs to meet me; instead this was another one who has learnt to trust Skabenga
When I put my hand out to pet it, it shied away

Yet it dipped its head when Skabenga did a little dance accompanied by a series of yelps

I love the farm gates in our area and the beast gave me the opportunity to capture him and the gate in one! 

I'm linking my post to Good Fences Thursday hosted by TexWisGirl here

HAPPY THURSDAY TO YOU ALL!

    It's neat the cows come to greet you while you are on your walk. The gate does allow for a good view of the animals and the farm.

    Hi Jo,

    Hope the fence is not electrified. In NZ, boys throw sticks at the fence to check if the fence are.

    sorry for not visiting for a while.

    My chilli story will be one I will tell when I am old. Not many people use our trains.

    4 legged animals have a bond. They seem to trust each other more so than those of us with just 2.
