Hi,
I know that Fjords aren't cows, but more like pigs ;-) . Anyway, I
remember longtime farm friends of ours always said that their dairy herd
was 100% more healthy when kept outside. I always have to remind my
husband, the non-horse person, that Heidi is an outdoor animal. If he
had his way, she would be brought in the house in bad weather. I've
been tempted to do that too , right through the lower level patio door
and take a few pictures just for laughs.
