Welcome Harry
On Monday morning Brownie had her little calf, probably not long before I got there at about 6.30am. I even got to see him before the rest of the cows and witnessed them sniffing and licking him. He seems to be feeding well and Brownie certainly has plenty of milk for him. I don't think I will be milking her or buying another poddy to share her milk. If the new poddy didn't take to Brownie or vice versa I would be left mixing milk twice a day and I don't fancy that.
The cows seem to be happy down the back but Star has been venturing into the neighbour's place, so over the next few days I will have to raise the height of the fence where she jumps over with extra star pickets. Star was going to be the next in the freezer but we aren't eating meat all that fast and so I might have to consider selling her, as she seems to be more trouble than she is worth.
