Congratulations to all the finishers in the #BigSurMarathon #BSIM! What a run, what a course, what a great day! We loved it and had great fun racing all of you across our meadow – thank you for your waves of encouragement and shouts of “you go girl!”- it was all truly inspirational! The question now is what to do with the sore muscles and leg cramps – and after much investigation we found the #CVAC #Carmel Athletic Club is a perfect facility to work the kinks out! Our warm-down routine is to relax in the hot tub for a while and then saunter over for a massage. If we really want to kick back, we use the steam room and hot & cold pools at the #Refuge, which is totally relaxing. Someday we would like to take advantage of the tennis courts, but so far they are pretty strict about the “no cows allowed” rule. We think it is kinda unfair but are having such a good time in the hot tub that we just aren’t that worried about it. In any event, we hope you enjoyed the run and we look forward to seeing you next year!

Attention all #BSIM #BigSurMarathon Runners! Us Cows are very excited about the upcoming marathon and can not wait to participate in the run! We have been training for weeks now and think we are pretty fast! Our challenge to all runners is a race across our meadow, which begins at Mile 24. We want to show everyone how well cows can run! And if we can’t beat you, we hope to at least inspire your last kick (pun intended) to the finish line. Many of you will be ready for a cool drink, which you will find just beyond our meadow – at Mile 25 – and if running with cows is not entertaining enough, check out the great music, which will also be at Mile 24. In any event, we look forward to seeing you this Sunday! Remember that our theme song is: “Cows on the Run” and we make it fun, so join us for the run!

We were so excited to learn that Reese Witherspoon and Nicole Kidman, as well as the rest of the cast of Big Little Lies would be visiting OUR meadow! They even brought their food trailer over for the cast to eat. For us cows this was a dream come true because we have always aspired to be actresses. Our thinking was that if we could meet Reese or Nicole during one of their lunch breaks, they might give us our big break! For days we practiced our walk, we memorized every word of Big Little Lies Season 1 and we peered at them with BIG EYES whenever they dropped by our meadow. We are quite sure they were impressed with our unique good looks and our undeniable ability to “hit our mark and tell the truth”, which is a gift that all good actors like us have. We are still waiting to hear from their Casting Director – so to be sure we don’t miss her (or him) we have resolved not to leave our meadow until they arrive – which should be any day now!

Us cows were quite flattered this past weekend because so many people came to visit us! We literally stopped traffic! And there was a line of cars waiting to see us all afternoon. Apparently there are other attractions in the area – such as #Pt.Lobos, #BigSur and #Carmel – so we hope all of you visitors were able to see those after coming to see us! One of the reasons for our increased popularity is likely our new BrownBarnCows.com sign – or perhaps the word is getting out that there are two cute cows who are out-standing in their field. In any event, thank you for visiting and don’t be a stranger!

Thank you for visiting us! It is a pleasure to spend time with decent people for a change! Not sure if you noticed but the dog running around the meadow is a Total Pest! She is a Belgian Malinois and she actually thinks this is HER meadow! To make matters worse, she tries to boss us around by nipping our ears until we flee to our corral. We are pretty sure you would rather take photos of us – due to our undeniable good looks – but please avoid taking pictures of the pesky dog because her ego will grow even larger! Also, please DO NOT feed her – or us for that matter – because we are all on a strict diet. To be fair, we are impressed the dog’s mother once chased a mountain lion up a tree – which she has told us a thousand times – and only makes her more intolerable. Enjoy your visit!

Welcome to our meadow! We may not look it, but we are miniature Scottish Highland cows. We have never been, but apparently it is cold and rainy there, which explains our furry coats. We are both 1 year old and hope to be mama cows next year. Very important that you please DO NOT feed us – because it is bad for our figures and we are on a controlled diet. We hope you agree that we are quite photogenic though, so feel free to take all the pictures you want. Post your photos to either the Facebook or Instagram links and we will feature the ones that make us look really good! We consider ourselves the main attraction in this area, but we have also heard that Pt. Lobos and Monastery Beach are lovely and within walking distance. We hope you enjoy your visit – and remember to post your photos!
