The NFC B-Day Chat Thread

Our other heifer has had her calf. I went out to check on them (it's still dark here) at 4am and couldn't find Miss Milkshake anywhere in her paddock. I went up to see Maisy but it was just her and Earlybird there. So I went wandering about and finally found her down a bit of a bank where it was sheltered (it's still windy and showery here). Baby was all dried off and it's another girl! I have no idea how Milkshake managed to jump the electric fence because she was huge, but she did. With how big she was I was slightly worried she might have trouble calving but she looks to have done an awesome job.

DS suggested the name Jack for Milkshake's calf yesterday so she'll have to be Jacky. I'll get some photos when it's light provided the rain doesn't hang around too long. It's back to being so muddy and mucky here.

Hope everyone has had a great morning.

Babies popping up all over! Congrats on another calf Jae :D

Jacky has very cute markings. Poor baby must've ended up in the mud at some point (it's not hard to find round here at the moment)! I've managed to corral Maisy and Earlybird in a double stranded electric fenced paddock. Early tested the electric tape and learnt pretty quickly she wasn't going to be able to escape any longer. I'll leave Milkshake and Jacky where they are until they seem ready to rejoin the little herd.
