Hurry up!  Can't hold my breath much longer!

Yehhhhhh!!!!  Beautiful bull calf!!  Wee bit of help from my cattle breeding friend who helped pull him out.  She was just a bit confused and didnt fancy pushing the head out!  Lovely little boy, will take photos in the morning.  I am so proud of her!!!   :relief:   :excited:

Awwww, all i can hear through my window (paddock is just outside my house) is a low repetative moo as she talks to her calf!!!   Almost better than the ewes talking to their lambs!!!

Managed to get a lovely week old Hereford x bull calf this morning to adopt on, Daisy was fab, he had a good feed from both back quarters and is now shut next to her in a calf hutch as he wont leave her alone!
