All our Area Co-ordinators are available for help or advice.

  Area Co-ordinators will now look after their respective areas but will also work as part of a team to find our flatcoats the best possible new homes. 

Over the years the IFRR has worked hard to build the organisation we have become today and would very much like to continue but we do appreciate that if it was not for our Volunteers and now our Co-ordinators who give their time so generously and those of you who support us we could not do what we do!

THANK YOU to you all.

A HIGHLAND ENCOUNTER

 

 

There she stood, motionless in the middle of the path,

Approached by a stranger with his two Flattie mutts.

Her name was Morag the Highland Cow from Torbeck,

With Angus her young calf at foot.

 

“We will have to ask her to move”, said Ross,

“The size of her”, replied Hari, “Rather you than me!”.

“Well we will have to do something”, Ross insisted,

“Otherwise we are going to be late home for our tea”.

 

“As you are the one with all the bright ideas Hari,

Then what do you suggest we do next?”.

“I know”, he said gleefully,

“Pick up your phone and send Mother an emergency text!”

 

“She is not moving at all”, he went on to say,

“In fact, I think she is having a doze.

She cannot see us anyway, her forelock covers her eyes,

And falls down to the bridge of her nose”.

 

“She can see us alright”, said Father,

“No barking, we don’t want to cause any distress,

Cows can be unpredictable with calf at foot,

So I expect your behaviour to be at it’s best”.

 

Then the Crofter arrived and shouted,

“Morag you Beastie, move to the side of the track”.

“Thank you”, said Father, as they all hurried by.

“And don’t either of you dare to look back”.

 

Later, Father explained the situation to Mother,

“That was a very eventful walk for we three”.

“Yes”, Ross interrupted, “and we arrived home, just in time

Because Mother was about to serve up our tea!”.
