Who Let the Cows Out

A cow´s life... Pretty dull, right?
You´re wrong! In spring time they are let out to graze for the first time in many months and go euphoric.
Euphoria, once a year. More than most of us.

They chase each other around and engage in playful butting, such is their emotional revival. For us city dwellers, that are used to seeing cows as dots on a field it is an amusement, and we gather in the several hundreds on farms around the land.

Lina, Aron, Martin and me travelled in great comfort in their newly acquired car. Aron wasn´t very interested in the cows, but went through the roof when he found the farm´s tractor. These, and other service vehicles, lie close to his heart.

It was a rural experience that we shared with countless other people.
