Visiting Angus Farm in Scotland

Angus CattleThe sound in this video clip is music to my ears. How about you? During the 2014 International Federation of Agricultural Journalists Congress I visited the Wattie family on their farm, Mains of Tonley near Alford, in Scotland. This was right after we saw an angus bull statue commemorating the beginning of the Aberdeen Angus breed.

After listening to a presentation on the breed and the current state of the livestock industry we walked out into a field with lots of mama cows and their babies. Some of us got up close and personal and I got a lesson in how to shoot a good photo from Harlan Persinger, well-known farm photographer! I hope he approves of this one.
