Day 274 of 2025

Just for a bit of fun, I tried.

It's very hard to get a selfie with a calf.

See you tomorrow,

Day 273 of 2025

A big day for Ganma today with three energetic kids for most of the day.

Loads of fun.

We all slept well.

See you tomorrow,

Day 272 of 2025

A visit with the kids next door.

Xavier shows me how much Rocky the goat has grown.

The girls have pet calves, Maple and Autumn - Highlander cross - which are extra cute and fluffy!

See you tomorrow,

Day 271 of 2025

It was time to bring that huge mob (shown yesterday) to the shed and sort out the next weaning mob.

In the end, only four smaller ones (green spray paint) were deemed not quite ready for weaning.

So after their feed, the 40-to-be-weaned were drenched, vaccinated, etc, in preparation for going out the back of the farm (the runoff) in a few days time.

(EDIT And just to get the story right; there is another mob of 30, one of 15 and 12 calves still to be born!!)

See you tomorrow,

Day 270 of 2025

While I was away, half of #1 mob was weaned.

The rest of the mob was put with #2 mob - which has made it huge.

Even though the feeder has 50 teats, 44 around it is too many......one calf steps sideways and it creates a domino effect with the calf at the other side getting bumped off!

See you tomorrow,

Day 269 of 2025

GD#2 was a great help while I was away.

See you tomorrow,

Day 268 of 2025

So nice to be back home again.

One little pussy cat was pleased to see his Ganma too.

See you tomorrow,
