We shifted cattle around this past weekend. Rodney and Bella, the youngest of the bovine on the farm, are now in a larger pasture. I had gone by their water tank a few times since their move and notice it was always muddy around the tank, and the water in the tank was rather brown as well.
Yesterday, the mystery was solved. It seems that in this latest bout of hot weather, the two of them have taken to standing in the water tank to cool off. Of course, as they kick at the flies that are irritating them, they splash the water out of the tank, making for a muddy mess surrounding the tank. And people say they are nothing but a bunch of dumb animals. I think they are pretty smart to come up with that idea to stay a little cooler.
