Breakfast on a cold, frosty morning, with the steam rising off the black hides of the cattle.

Cows and calves are delighted with cool weather, no flies, and breakfast served to them each day by the farmers.

Ollie and Sarge, livestock guardian dogs, were out with their ewes all day in the pasture and now they’re thinking about their supper.

The young hens are starting to lay eggs and, depending on their breed, the egg is either white, green, blue or a shade of brown.

Ollie is such a clown, Sarge is the older brother. Photo by Richard Beaven
