June 25th. Cows and Sheep.
Well if yesterday was quiet, today was not. It all started with a trip to an estate farm where we had pastries for breakfast. We then got back in our cars and followed a farm ranger’s car single file down to the fields where the long haired cows known as “coos” were kept. Some first photos.
Not a Coo but wanted his picture taken.
We then drove to a different field where more and less tame Coos were.
We then drove around a bit and found this lovely hotel and restaurant where had lunch before our next adventure.
Again I couldn’t wait so what you see is half a Scotch egg. It was soooo good. 
And Mary Ann had mussels. Also delightful.
We rode around a bit more, gases up the car and went to our next appointment at 3:00 pm.
A sheep dog demonstration. These dogs are so smart. Or sheep are so stupid. Maybe a bit both
. 
This sheep has been singled out for shearing.
He uses hand shears most of the time.
And of course I had to help out.
Our Shepard host taking questions.
And after the shearing, lambs had to be fed and puppies held.
And a calf as well.
I guess you could say we had a Scottish Farm Adventure Day.
So we end this wonderful day eating chicken curry at a local hotel. There will be no pictures of that meal. Back to our room and to bed for a travel day. Not over the mountains but around them. We are done with narrow mountainous roads. See you in Ballater.
Good night
