Day 277 of 2024

The calf shed is starting to look a little empty these days, as calving slows down and older calves move out onto the farm. 
These guys have plenty of room to stretch their legs after their feed!

See you tomorrow,

Day 274 of 2024

Mountain calves.
It's always cool to have the calves up in the back hill paddocks.
4-wheel drive needed to get up there and limited spots for parking the feeder on level ground!
But plenty of grass.
You can see that as soon as they finish their milk feed (some still sucking to the right of the photo) their heads go down and they start grazing.

See you tomorrow,

Day 273 of 2024

Overnight, sometime recently, the beekeepers brought the hives out to our bush areas.
The (white) manuka is starting to flower and the bees are starting to get busy.
On a warm spring day you can smell the honey they're making. 
Delicious!!

See you tomorrow,

Day 272 of 2024

Little did they know it, but this was the last milk feed for this mob.
They followed the feeder up the the first part of the track to the runoff, had their last feed, then carried on out to the runoff to lush grass.
Woot woot. One less mob for me to feed!

See you tomorrow,
