Better Year - So far....
« on: May 22, 2014, 07:22:27 pm »
Well after last years unfortunate events when our cow crushed her calf - she has given birth to another Heifer this year - so far three days old and all is well.


Hoping the second cow does as well - she is due soon :-)


Pic attached of the new addition!

Really lovely calf - is it pure Shetland?

Well done, Sweetheart  :thumbsup:

Yes, shes a pure Shetland - we had the bull last year too, but he's now in the freezer. What a way to go ;-)
 
Hoping we get another Heifer of our other Shetland - she had a bull calf last year.
