| How very cool! Do the cows come into your garden often? What a surprise to look out of the window and see wild cattle! |

| The biggest surprise would be finding out how much the cows would rather be chewing up your garden than eating the wild plants! |

| Metro, The dead trees are what Hawaiians used to make tree saddles from . I dont know what they are called. The big one towards the back is a strawberry guava tree.
The cows are several breeds. They have been breeding loose for over 10 years now. My veggie garden (most of it) is inside a fenced pasture.
The good part with wild cattle is the free fertilizer...lol |

Mlassi, how lucky you are to have family living close by - do all the cows roam freely even if they belong to someone? |

| BHM, the cows arent supposed to roam but a ranch didnt repair their fences about ten years ago, so lots of their cattle got loose. The cousins know about the tagged one and are going to catch her when they have a chance. Our property abuts one of hubby's cousins, and where the cattle are being photgraphed is owned by my motherinlaw and her cousin. We are surrounded here by cousins. Hubby's family has lived on this land since the 1860s. |
