The Belted Galloway cows were out in the main pasture at Aldermere Farm, in Rockport, Maine, yesterday. There is a little pen near this grazing area where they can go for water. When I arrived they were close to the pen, with one at the water bucket. When that critter left, another would wander over. The group moved away from the pen, but the ritual seemed to continue. They were aware when the water bucket became free for the next one's turn. The next thirsty cow would head from the group to the water, like kids in a classroom who know that only one is allowed at the water fountain at a time.
