The number of living shacks has decreased dramatically.

But in Lima there is now another one.

In Mosätra, west of the village, five newly purchased cows now graze during the day.

In the evenings, they are allowed to enter the old barn.

One of them is also milked there.

No cows for nearly 60 years

The last time there were cows here in Mosätra was 1963.

- I have always wanted to have my own cows and now that I became a pensioner it was easier to take the step, says Perjos Lars Halvarsson, who also lives in Mosätra during the summer.

In Lima, there are dairy cows in a total of three sheds.

Elsewhere in Dalarna, some shacks are built mostly for tourists.

- But I'm only doing this for my own sake.

Because I want it, says Perjos Lars Halvarsson.
