It's August 6th and we've still not cut for second crop silage. We can't remember ever having been so late. It's mainly due to the weather and being in a queue for the contractor. We only need three fine days - and and a half to cut and one and a half to pick up. But no matter how optimistic we are in the morning with the sun shining and the wind blow drying the grass, we end up dejected by evening when it rains just enough to wet it again.
But we have confounded one particular run of luck - in the past 7 days we've had 13 calves - four bulls and NINE HEIFERS!
The latest was born to Lady Serene 2 last night, after one and a half hours of hard physical work by the vet. Thank you Jane.
