Two New Calves

1 December 2013

Two New Calves

At the local Auction there was a trailer load of poddy calves and grass eating calves for sale separate from the auction.  I bought two girls calves for $200 each.  Of course I hadn’t brought my trailer, so I had to go home to get it first.  They’re about three months old and very shy.  I have named them Harriet (like Harry the Hereford) and Penny (the pirate, due to her patch).
Back Dam Dry Again

On the last day of the year the dam was again dry, so the cows are now in the front paddocks.  They saw the two new calves and mooed softly to them, just like they did with their own calves.  I will keep the new calves separate for a few months more, though.
