Great news day, Ted was found alive and well stuck in the middle of bales of straw. The joys of having a dog that doesn’t bark.Thanks to everyone that shared my post. Can’t believe he was in the middle of our yard all along with all the calling and whistles he never made a sound!

A cow pat is kind of like the mines in @FraggleRock . Only, instead of “Doozers” they are a home to multitudes of Dung beetles and many other insects. It’s incredible how interconnected our ecosystem is and how our birds, bats and mammals benefit from our grazing ruminants. 🐄 🐑
