hi noni, old mojo here we live in the depths of rural france and funny but true the cattle nearly all live in huge barns only heifers and bullocks outside milkers are all holstiens with a guernsey (if they can get one) as the house cow as in the summer the cows get sun burn so they barn them ,the beef cattle around here are bressuire,charolais and limosene for local consumpytionone fella about30 miles away keeps dexters which the locals think are most peculiar ....regards to mum and family.......mojo Very Happy
