Moo goes there?

[Davejl]

Cattle always seem to enjoy investigating a visitor.

Yes, Dave, they tend to associate people with food treats. I have often had a whole herd following me across a field after they smelt chocolate biscuits in my backpack.

Nice composition and good exposure, although I would probably clone out that wire coming from the right side.

[flashback]

I always wonder what goes on behind those big beautiful eyes, I suspect less than I'd prefer but still, they have such an curious, inquisitive look I had to put my steak down when I opened this This is a really, really charming shot, as a shot itself as well as a shot of cows. Just charming!

Nice capture.

Thank you Jack. I love farm animals - maybe it's in my genes, because both of my ancestral lines were farmers not long back, but I'm sure their ghosts are be bemused by my sentimentality. I don't eat steak (though I do eat lamb, but only a few times a year).

Thanks Geoff, I will clone out the wire - I might be able to cope with that!
I've never thought of feeding treats to cattle - do they ever get any of your biscuits? What I find amusing is the way they seem to play "dare", first one edging closer, then another, until a rasp-like tongue is extended towards me, and then the whole lot panic in retreat!

"what does he want, milk or meat?"

I find it amusing that looking at it twice now (Ok the 4th time...) I find them looking not at the camera but at the orange furry cow so I sort of gone to the conclusion that the "visitor" is that cow not the photographer. I love this...it has a story of its own...
