Introducing Feisty Fi Fi!
Knickers, she who last calved Jan 2020 and refuses to hold to AI, had nooky with a lovely Angus bull 27th Feb! After a 285 day pregnancy, the last week of which you could tell by her eyes, she was getting fed up, out slithered Fi Fi. Big bag, hungry calf, leg slightly lifts up, calf become Feisty Fi Fi!
Needless to say, Feisty Fi Fi has NO intention of going hungry!
So, with Mary bulled around 14 days later, we thought we would have a weeks rest.
I found Mary, washing a big bull, Fabulous Freddie, in mud and rain at 276 days. She had no intention of going any longer. Call to a nephew, pitch black, wheel barrow etc, nice bright shed, up and sucking half an hour later!
He was born Monday so shoved him and Mary Moo out in the sun yesterday. We were surprised how both calves have similar face markings. Am hoping he stays on the black side.
Fi Fi is the lone calf and blurred one getting a wash! I thought at 5 day old she'd learnt the word bed! 5 minutes I chased her around a small field yesterday whilst her mum was stuffing inside!
