The last of the Highlanders. Because of the drought she is one of the last Highlanders we keep, Her calf is on the other side of the fence as she looks on.

Thanks for clearing that up. whatever, it's a very nice animal portrait. I love the sense of solidity your images portray.

That is her calf which at this time of year we keep all gates open so all the pastures are available to the cows. Sometimes if not always the cow goes down oneside and the calf the other side of the fence. Its the youngest calf at 2 weeks old were as most are 4 months of age or better. Thank you for the feedback. CCClark

Don't know who posted this, but it's very striking. I also like the poignancy of the suggestion that the fence is keeping mother and calf apart (or is that another adult? - it looks like a calf).
