Sligo Sea Barn-original

Our blue-grey Scottish cow, Bluebell, was more reserved than the other cows. She was very dependable, always in her place in the byre. She would never raise a foot to kick us while we were milking her! 

Linty was a huge red cow with a long white face reminding us of the sun. Her 2 long horns (almost like antlers) allowed children to climb up on her back as if she were a horse but without the saddle. What a bit-of-fun we had!

Jolly was a real pet dairy cow. She would run to the fence each day she heard the return of the school bus, knowing she would be hand fed by us. Curiosity and her friendly nature meant she would follow us anywhere we went. 

Black Rosie was one of our most treasured dairy cows. Her huge eyes and pure black shiny cost ensured she got pride of place in the cow byre.  This was Black Rosie’s favourite place for 19 years.
