Our gray cattle on the pasture in autumn. The large hazelnut bush near the house has already been largely plundered by jays and squirrels.
Also, our cat Minzi (the small white dot under the little spruce tree) seems to be on the lookout for prey in the woods.
I am not responsible for the black shit in the upper right corner of this photo. A few terms have stuck with me from my economics studies, such as 'surplus' and 'excess burden'. These terms could also describe the excessive use of liquid fertilizer and how it destroys ecology and biodiversity just to squeeze a few more euros out of the poor soil.

Our four gray cattle calves can still spend a few weeks outside and enjoy the beautiful weather. They eat like champions and always demand dry meadow hay as a change from fresh grass. They are waiting for fresh hay again. I have to bring two large basket full to the pasture a day. They are supposed to gnaw on young willow shoots in the forest above in the meantime as well. I read an article that said roughage from young shoots reduces greenhouse gases and ammonia in excrement.
