One day with the Swedish farmer Gösta

One day with Gösta Ekman

A farmer in Främshyttan

The village This is the little

village where Gösta and Ingrid live

It´s called Främshyttan

Främshyttan is situated not far from Skinnskatteberg

Göstas house. In this nice house

Gösta and Ingrid live with their dog

They rent the house from Domänverket

I´s good to live here

Gösta´s cows Gösta lets his cows

walk freely, without fence

They have been outside the meadow only twice

To the left is his farmstead

The cow´s in the meadow In spite of the tough

climate the cow´s can be outside in the winter

In the night they can be in the warmth in the farmhouse

Gösta´s cows are having a good life

The farmstead Here is his farm It´s full of activity One has to clear the

dung out even if it´s saturday

Gösta This is the farmer

himself - Gösta Ekman

It´s hard work to clean from dung

A paus for a photo isn´t bad….

The calf Look, so proud she

is, the cow! This calf is only 24

hours Gösta tried to raise

it up But the calf didn´t

like it

Another calf This calf is a little

bigger It´s a Charolaise In the farmstead it

´s nice and it´s warm too

Hi! Here we are! We are two small

Hereford calfs Gösta thinks we are

cute We have to be

inside because it´s so cold outside

Hi! Here we are once again! We are so cute so

we may participate once again

Soon it´ll be night and the come the other cow´s too

Göstas house seen from the farm Here Gösta has

gone in his tractor You can tell it from

the tracks Not only the tractor

is making tracks…

The lynxes walk around the house

Aquí ves las huellas de dos linces

Han caminado en torno de la casa de Gösta esta noche

Los dos gatitos han orinado también

The forge This is an old forge On it´s side were

Främshyttan It was the old blast

furnace that has given name to Göstas village

Now you know a little more about Gösta

Think of him when you drink your milk

Göstas cow´s live a good life

We wish you do too! Per-Åke, Kerstin y
