The calves that didn't arrive when we were at home in September have been arriving since. There is only one cow still to calve - although she may have in the last few days. The result is slightly disappointing - 9 live births and two dead.
This is one cute little guy. Actually I don't know he's a guy, but I'm assuming. For a Belted Galloway he's got a bit of a problem. He has the most broken belt (non-continuous) I've ever seen. On the other side he has the black - white - black pattern, but on this side he looks like a fluffy Angus (well perhaps not).
I love this photo. Is this an attentive Mum - or what? I'm also pretty pleased with the pasture in paddock 20! When I was home it was looking a bit sad. I paddock harrowed it - which breaks up the cow manure and tickles things up. The response in just a couple of weeks is pretty good. I'm very much looking forward to being back at Moora and managing the pastures much more actively than I can from Jakarta.
And here are 5 of the calves all in one spot. Looking very well - even if I say so myself.
