I got some cows from Hovel today. They are rather nice. They are still a bit bigger than I would have liked. But they will have to do.

Duly noted!  :)

Today, I have had to call in sick at work due to stress, caused by a bad psychological work environment (we have a psychopath colleague who is generally ruining everything for everybody), so I may not respond as much to posts on this (and other) thread(s) the next couple of days while I recuperate...  :(

Why does a shepherdess need  scythe or a rake? ???

Thanks. Well, I try to keep doing stuff, and not sink into a stupor, but I hardly sleep at night and as a consequence of that am very tired and suffering from almost cronical headaches atm.

Thanks, I have decided to not let my condition ruin December and the holidays for me (and my family, of course), so although I may work slower that normally, due to concentration difficulties, I shall do as much as I can while on leave. I may be absent from the web a couple of days here and then, when I feel the need to rest a lot, but all in all I should keep the engine running, albeit at low steam.

Hi Argonor,

Hope your December has been restful. Discussion of appropriately sized cattle reminded me of the 1:64 Ertl toys that I've seen used to great effect in old west games. They've always looked a bit short there, but would make excellent ancient cattle given the right paint job.

They come in a variety of body shapes, but Hereford are quite stocky.
