As you may remember, we were worried about Charlie when he was born. In retrospect, I think it was (understandable) over-anxiety on my part, due to my lack of experience - so thanks to all of you who offered support and reassurance at the time. It was much appreciated. Next year, I promise to be more relaxed :eyelashes:
You'll be pleased to see from the video that he's doing fine - his mommy loves him (most of the time) and he certainly doesn't seem to hold a grudge against me ;D

We'll remember that - never works for me mind, always spend the entire time on edge till the last one has arrived and is noisily sucking with a waggy tail and mum's tongue giving a goodly wash and brush up.
Charlie looks fine and happy.

Don't worry Rosemary - it's not just you - I still get "1st time mother jitters" every time one of my gilts farrows :innocent:

theres less chance to get experienced with cattle if you only have a couple to calve each year. whereas with lambs - there are just more per acre, so more births to watch. pigs are even better....
i still feel a beginner with my cattle after 4 yrs or so.
