Stopped for the herd to pass, on my way back from a meet and greet potential new self employed community midwives in Co. Kilkenny. Probably the loveliest day of the year so far and I spent over 3 hours in the car. Grrrrroan.
The last milky girl here at the back could hardly walk with the size of her udders, she was spurting milk as she staggered along. I don't know enough about cows and farming to confidently comment on animal husbandry, but it made me feel sick to look at it. I'm so glad that the milk I drink comes from one of 3 cows farmed by a friend a mile up the road and is never in that kind of a state.
