The perils of travelling on country roads in Tassie!

**Lani** · 17-02-2010, 10:37pm

.....especially when the cows need moooooving.
Michael and I were on our way to Sheffield and got slightly held up by this herd of cows....so, how else to pass the time but take some pics. I probably should have gotten out of the car to take them, but Michael threatened to leave me behind if I did.

First one shows them in absolutely no rush,
the second proves I wasn't the only one who spotted a photo opportunity
.... and the third....well, the cows obviously got a bit bored as well LOL

It happens on all Country Roads

Good ones Lani of course I had a chuckle at #3

I never seem to have my camera around my neck when I see things like that

Hehe, not hard to tell the non-farmers amongst us.

That girl was just bullin' in photo 3 and would've have been serviced by the next morning (bull or AI).

Nice photos though, of a healthy Holstein-Friesian herd.

When u think you have seen it all on AP, up comes a cow with a twinkle in the eye and another looking for the mounting yard... classic shots Lani.

**Helen S** · 18-02-2010, 2:55pm

ROFL Lani, love the latest one.

I do miss the dairy cows, just not the early morning starts (or my ex for that matter)... and I loved showing them as well.

Yes indeed Lani! The perils of Tassie country roads.

The moos need mooooovvvvinnng ........

....... and the sheep need shifting!!!!!

**Lani** · 18-02-2010, 10:32pm

Thanks for the comments everyone...where was that Cheryl?....would've held everyone up for ages lol

**CherylB** · 18-02-2010, 11:44pm

To be honest, Lani, I can't remember exactly where. I visited a friend in Longford and then drove back down through the lakes area - so about somewhere in the middle is the best I can do!

Surprisingly, it didn't take that long! After stopping to take the shot, I just continued driving. Sheep being sheep, as soon as I started to move towards them, they very considerately moved out of the way!

Drove very slowly for about a kilometre and then I was through.

Love the twinkle in the eye

i miss the country... great shots to bring back a few memories. Used to work on a dairy farm in Smithton NW tassie. winter at 4am for the first milking was quite hard, but really enjoyed the experience, long way away from what i do now though, computer programmer...

**Lani** · 20-02-2010, 6:56pm

That is a world apart Allann....gee, 4 am starts in Smithton in winter would freeze the....well, it would be really cold.

Thanks Mary-Anne.
