Looking for cows...

Beaker99

Looking for a place in the south east (pref Herts/essex) where I can get my missus close up to black and white cows. Maybe an open farm or something. Nothing rare breed (cows, not the missus). She just wants to see/touch/hug a frescian.

were you wanting to stay at one for a few days or just a day visit?

if you were wanting to stay at one the farmstay website is quite a good one

I had a chuckle when I read this as I am looking for something similar - I LOVE COWS!!! Hubby said I need my head examined, anyway we have found a website called featherdown farm holidays and the idea is you pick one of their selected farms and stay in an uber posh tent(not really a tent as there are real beds etc) Some of the farms also have the option of a private chicken coop to feed you own hens for the week/weekend and then collect the eggs that are laid!

Maybe I should just go away with your wife and we can hug cows together!!:laugh:

Thanks everyone... I'm more looking for a day trip rather than 'a night with the chickens'

Willows Farm at M25 junction 22 shows Freisians on its map. Best to ring up first and check though.

Maybe some at Lee Valley Park Farms. They've got a milking parlour where you can watch the cows being milked.

just a note to the OP, i spent some time on a farm when i was little and you should do my favourite thing (this is not a weird cow fetish... i promise!) while your missus is hugging her fresian, get her to touch the soft bit in between its nostrils, its all soft and lovely... like velvet!
about 25 years later and i still remember a cows nose! :rotfl:
