The accidental calf
« on: October 27, 2015, 12:56:37 pm »
I was incredibly surprised today to walk out and find a calf!!! We thought our old 16yo Gunna was just really fat - although my mother Lucy had her suspicions. Turns out she was right and we were all wrong! Clever old Gunna gave birth to a little heifer so we are just thrilled.





We are thinking of calling her Moon as she was born last night during the full moon.

She is having a great time running around the field after Una and Xena our other heifers at the moment.

Lovely calf - well done to Gunna.

Luna might work as a name - links the moon and Gunna (well almost...)

That's brilliant news, congrats! She is beautiful.

the most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, loving concern.
