Lost Creek Soaps~ Logan Moving The Highlands

We started doing rotational grazing with our animals.  We have Scottish Highland Cattle, and Scottish Highland crosses mixed with dairy breeds for milking.  The crosses are Jersey/Highland Crosses, or some other dairy breed/Jersey/Highland crosses.

We adore our Scottish Highland Cattle.  I mean, I love them!  They are beautiful, majestic animals, and oh so hardy!!!  When we first moved to the country, and started accumulating a plethora of animals, we learned very quickly how important HARDY animals are.  They taste amazing too.  

We knew we wanted to raise our own food, as naturally as possible.  We learned that cattle were made to eat grass.  That what we really needed to be was grass farmers.  Farmers that grew amazing grass, and had amazing diversity of other species of plants.  We learned that cattle can heal the land, not just destroy it.  Wow!  We wanted in on that.

I love watching these amazing animals.  If you love watching animals, and listening to the sounds of summer.  I have two videos of Logan moving the fence to let the cattle into their new paddock with fresh grass for them to eat.
 

I decided not to talk during the videos.  It is so peaceful just to listen to the sounds of the country.

Our bull had been in a different pen.  You can hear him start to beller as he moves closer to his cows.  He is a wonderful bull.  So calm and gentle.  He has been such a great bull for us.

After I finished filming, Logan and I called him to the gate to let him in with "his" girls. :)  "Here Blackie".  "Here Blackie".  "Come here boy".  And slowly he started walking to the gate.  With a little bit of encouragement he was back in with his girls again.
