Guest Appearance - Moo By BoggyWoggy
My regular reader and blogpal Boggywoggy from Oregon and I share a passion for animals especially guinea fowl. I found BoggyWoggy’s site on Technorati when I searched for guinea fowl and over the last few months have corresponded via comments on each others site. I always love reading BoggyWoggy’s comments as they are both complimentary and humorous. So you can imagine it was no surprise when I read this comment left last week……….
“I just downloaded a video onto YouTube in your honor! It’s called, ‘Moo!’ I created the video while visiting a local ranch with our Swedish exchange student, Albin. He’d been here for about a year and was due to head home in mid-July. The owner of the ranch took us up in the hills above his home for a “new-American-style” cattle drive. Yep, that’s right…we rode up in his HUGE Ford Expedition, watched as he opened a gate, and yelled, “C’mon!” All of the cattle came racing over the hillside in the background, then stopped and just looked at all of us. I pulled out my camera as they made the decision to go through the gate he’d just opened…”

That’s scenic coutryside there in your video, and a good looking herd of cattle. Do you know which breed they are? Salers? Angus? or some other sort. My cattle are not quite as well trained as those ones as our’s go into the low lying grassland (we call it Ings) for the Summer and do not get moved about so much from field to field.

Hi Steve,
Thanks for visiting and commenting. Yes I agree the countryside in Boggywoggy’s video is great. I will ask what breed of cattle they are. They are certainly well trained. They certainly moved quickly down the hillside when the farmer shouted and opened the gate.

Hi Cynthia,
Yes these cattle are very handsome and healthy looking. I think it is interesting to see cattle from other countries and how they are managed. Thanks for commenting.
