    Is it a cow or a bull that is there? One in a field might suggest it is a bull.

    Both are pretty cool looking, but am asking as I have not seen a Highland bull in the flesh for a few decades. They are built like a tank, and their heads always remind me of a minotaur from Greek mythology.

    Been going past this field all week and the Aberdeen Angus seems to be gone. Hope he's not on the supermarket shelves ...:(
    The white horse is still there though.

    I noticed that she'd gone this week as well. I'll keep an eye out in the other fields as we often walk around that area
