While coming
back from Kolli Hills, long before, we stopped at the foothills to have some
tea and adjacent to the village tea shop, we found a farm house come cow stable
and it captured our attention to take a look and click photos. The foothills of
the Kolli Hills are quite lavish with pretty farm lands and plantations of
areca and coconut palm.
Coming under
Namakkal district, which is popular for poultry production, the landscape
adopts number of poultry farms that
spread across the district taking care of the entire state poultry products and
also supports the neighbouring states of Tamil Nadu. I really enjoyed the halt
and the cow stable took back to my childhood days and happy moments spent at my
grandfather’s village. My grandparents had also involved in milk business and
reared cows and buffaloes until the year 2000, so the connectivity with cattle
is irresistible always.
The cow stable
has a typical hump of hay and I have memories of climbing the hay piles and experience
itching after rolling and crawling along the hay in the grandparent’s village. They
usually have a ladder to climb atop to bring down a bunch of hay, from the
collected, to feed bulls. The stable has couple of cows and a calf and the
untied goat kept wandering around. And he’s a great poser and it’s proved
beneath!
