The rules of the pasture...

FFF Photo a Day - Day 150 

I am always intrigued and interested in how our four legged animals get along. At our place, everyone grazes together - goats, cattle, sheep, etc. 

Like all herd animals there is a hierarchy of relationships with leaders and followers and introducing new animals typically puts everyone's nose out of joint for a few days. 

Each animal has a different personality and approach and while size matters... it doesn't always dictate who the leader is! As their humans, we quickly learn who to feed/water/scratch first and in what order, to maintain the current rules of the pasture!
