Those of you who are regular visitors to The Green Man will have noticed a certain obsesiveness on the hot topic of "Cows". The Green Man does not own any cows although he has known some on a social basis.

Dave Haxton, on the hand, is fortunate in that he knows quite a few at a very pesonal level. Let's face it, to be involved in the whole birthing process is a very personal and bonding sort of thing as, in fact, he was with Wolfie a Scots Highland cow that gave birth mid last year. You can see a picture of Wolfie here and with her offspring here. Wolfie is 17 and Dave looks much older than that but The Green Man is not judgmental about such things, as long as they have a mature man/cow relationship which I am sure they do, given that Dave has shown the good taste and maturity to be a regular reader of The Green Man.
