The fresh green grass has attracted some of the near by cattle to the decaying old 1940s dairy barn, not far from us. Dairy farms are more common to the north of here, but this one probably served our little town quite well in those days. Lots of cattle are raised near us, but they are not dairy cows.

Privately owned dairy farms go back to an earlier time in our history, so I am not surprised that this dairy barn is no longer used. The cattle here are beef cattle, not dairy cattle. Our food systems have undergone profound, and unsustainable, changes shown in your photo.

Da gusto verlas pastar con la tranquilidad que proporciona la naturaleza. Una foto bucólica.
Un abrazo.

Un lugar en el que los pastos son tiernos y frescos y las reses acuden a proveerse de alimento. Lastima de ese edificio en ruinas.
Un abrazo

Una fotografía muy bucólica. Las vacas disfrutan de la ganadería extensiva sin tener que estar confinadas en granjas.
Un abrazo.

Image like this is so good for record keeping. Yet, there is a beauty in these decayed exterior

Interesting to note that the barn is made of besser blocks. These didn't reach Oz until many years later. Our barns of this era would all have been timber, which the white ants are too quickly destroying.

Well at least they don't have to milk the cows twice a day. That is a pain having to do that. Nice shot.
