The MOML delivered two calves to their new home today.
The Jersey bull calf is the only dairy bull calf born and we didn't have a home for him.
(For our dairy calves we use sexed semen during mating which means that there's over a 90% guarantee the calves born will be female - future milkers. This saves having a whole lot of (bull) bobby calves which used to go 'on the truck' at 4 days old.)
The other calf was a small twin - which is good and healthy - just a bit smaller than the others.
There's an older lady nearby who likes to rear a couple of calves each year, and these went to her place.
See you tomorrow,
Raewyn
