Cows Gets Some Hay In Morning Farm Food

I’ve often been caught out by language and terminology during interviews with farmers; not least in the North East of Scotland (e.g. not realising ‘backend’ means autumn and farmers were saying they vaccinated their cattle in the autumn. I was thinking "I'm pretty sure you're supposed to vaccinate them in the neck..."). I say cow for all cattle when a farmer might use it to mean a female bovine animal that has given birth at least once. They might also refer to calves or heifers or suckler cows or store cattle or steers or stirks or followers or bullocks, or bulls or cast cows or prime cows or pedigree cows.
