On this overcast northern California morning as I was driving to town from the farm, I look to my left only to notice one Happy Boy.
In this particular pasture that sits alongside the road, my father-in-law spends hours upon hours tilling the soil, planting oat hay seed and then in the early summer, cuts the hay, turns it and bales it.....to feed the beef cows during the summer. No one is allowed out in this pasture right now. The few that get away with spending time here are a group of pesky Canadian Geese who can't wait for that seed to hit the ground, only so they can try eating it up as quickly as they can......but today, it's this guy.
His lucky day, I'd say.
He knows he hit pay dirt as he stands in knee high oat grass, standing quietly as he eats, his friends close by {where they're supposed to be} not even noticing.
Beef. They're notorious for getting through fence {in my opinion}. Ours are normally found on the golf course nearby if they've gone through some fence, but today, the golfers are not to be disturbed.
Something for the Locals:
Are you local to Marin? If so, here's something you may be interested in supporting and if you go, I'll see you there!:

Love that one happy beefer! We get our neighbors' beefers here in our pasture QUITE OFTEN! But this weekend one of their horses surprised us and dropped in until they could come gather him up. :)
He does look like one happy fellow in that tall grass.
In this case the grass was greener on the other side :) Happy happy cow I'd say!
@texwisgirl, horses can definitely make good escape artists as well!
@Farmchick, and happy he was!
@Suzie, the grass is always greener on the other side for a cow:)
what a naughty fellow-
What a smart guy...!
haha what a naughty boy! Were pretty lucky our cows stay in most of the time.... haha

Great post!
I do love how he seems to be frozen in that "nothing to see here" pose.
I get hate calls when our dog gets out once every three years. Cows on a golf course? Yikes! :)
