February 28, 2022, prompt: In 99 words (no more, no less), write about the farm life. Where is the farm and who are the farmers? What are they farming and why? How is the farm life? Go where the prompt leads!
➰➰➰
The car came to a sudden halt and I was jolted out of the contemplation of my phone. I looked up to see an unusual sight. A herd of cows was blocking the road. This was not a thing one would normally find on a city road, especially a road that leads to the residence of the prime minister of the country.
I craned my neck to see these twenty or so well fed cows ambling gently across the road. White and black patterned, adults and calves mixed they were free to roam the place. A traveling dairy farm!

I have never been close to a cow, but I do enjoy seeing them in fields when I drive past them. I read that Hindus, consider the cow to be a sacred symbol of life that should be protected and revered.

That’s true. And over here it’s a source of milk and beef later on. Very valuable! 🐄

On our various trips in the mountains we were “held up” by cattle and sheep herds moving up or down into meadows in different seasons

I love the idea of a “traveling dairy farm”. Though I’ve not witnessed this kind of sight before, I have seen groups of deer and elk traveling on roads, one must be very careful in these parts of the country. 😅 Great write, Sadje.

In many places in Vermont a road might separate pastures or the barn and the pasture so the cows trek across twice daily. It’s a great thing to slow down for!
