Just watering all my vegetables when some pretty nosy guys rolled up, mouths watering. I hope my zucchini don't grow beyond the fence...

They are. Sometimes we are chilling in the garden and suddenly there are a bunch of calves zooming by.

Do they ever use their long tongues to eat your vegies?

My cucumbers and pumpkins grew pretty big last year. There were quite a few nibbled leafs where they coudk reach. But these are cows in "Muttertierhaltung". The calves don't get seperated and live with their mom on these pastures all summer. They enjoy the best of gras and don't seem to fond of my veggie leafs.

Nice to have the company! Hopefully they don't get to your veggies!

They are an entertaining bunch. And they get paid in veggie greens from time to time ;)
