cattle

At dawn Marta walks along the fence to check the small herd before they head to the pasture . The cattle graze quietly in the dew - covered field , and she notes any animal that seems slower than the others . Each morning she follows a strict routine , because careful observation prevents minor problems from becoming serious . When the weather is mild she lets them move into the adjacent meadow so the land can recover , supervising from the gate . The scene is simple and tranquil , but her steady attention keeps both animals and the environment healthy .
