Off on holiday. Back Friday.
Friday 24th September
Home again!
Dan had to put Sheldon down this morning; he’d been damaged in the fox attack but seemed to have recovered reasonably well, but he was getting weaker and it was the right thing to do to let him go.
Dan has also made a start on clearing the sunken garden. We’ve been here before, so I’m not holding my breath.
Sunken garden.
Pumpkins / Gracie / Blizzard's calf
Monday 11 October, 2021
Monday 4th October
Lovely morning; no calf yet. I’ll do a 2am check now until she’s calved.
A few showers in the afternoon. Started giving he hens soaked corn in the afternoon. Audrey and Dusty went to bed on their own for the first time.
Tuesday 5th October
Still no calf.
Wednesday 6th October
No calf. Horrible wet night forecast, so brought the cows in. Saves my jammies getting wet on the night-time checks. They can go out during the day though.
Buster / Frost / Festival
Monday 25 October, 2021
Tuesday 12th October
After yesterday’s events, we’re just chillin’. But it was a nice day, so Blizzard and her new calf re-joined the herd. He'll be registered as Rosedean Braw (in keeping with our weather theme - Braw ina New Guinean wind and it being a B year) bu has been given the pet name, Buster.
Baby meets Buster.
