The girls walking back to their field after seeing the equivalent of a chiropodist! Had a bit of a problem with the older cows hooves last year so decided to get West Wales Hoof Care in, they turned up with a wonderful piece of kit. Looks a bit like a bit like torture equipment but they all survived and were contentedly walked back down to the field with no after effects!! #reddevon #hoofcare# cattlecrush #Pembrokeshire #pastureforlife #pasturefed #slowgrowing #sustainable #farmstay #coastalpath #petfriendly

The waiting welcome committee as we walked into the field today. The cows are coming to the end of their final rotation of the year and the grass is obviously not as tasty - they are definitely ready to move on.....#reddevon #pasturefed #sustainable #pastureforlife #rotationalgrazing #Pembrokeshire #coastalpath #farmstay #petfriendly
