Here is a walk around a grass fed farm for this #wednesdaywalk by tattoodjay@tattoodjay

This farm has grass fed cattle as their main product. These cows get to graze various pastures on rotation.

Zillions of starlings are hanging around the cows, I'm not sure if they eat the flies that hang around them or if they are trying to see if there is grain that they are eating?

In another pasture a couple milk goats were laying on the ground. Once they saw us they ran over for petting.

Where are my pets humans?

redwoman8@redwoman8 was happy to give them attention before we walked the perimeter of the multiacre farm.

We saw a huge chicken hawk (red-tailed hawk) hanging out on a fence post, I wonder what he is waiting there for?

Now I see, the hawk is waiting for the chickens to come out and free range to maybe pick one off if he is fast enough.

Another crop on this farm are large fields of corn.

It was a nice bright sunny day out, perfect for my zoom lens.

All the way on the other side of the farm there is a large river for fishing. I saw a bald eagle here but it was too fast for me to catch a picture of it.

Fortunately I was able to get a few butterfly shots in the prairie. I even saw a wild mink on this walk but it was way too fast to get a photo. I'll have to revisit this place in the future to see if I can get a shot of the crazy mink.

That's all for this #wednesdaywalk thanks for looking :-)
