2016 Calving has begun
We are in the middle of calving now with several beautiful calves on the ground despite the bad weather and very wet ground we have had no major problems. We did have one calf that I think was a bit hypothermic being born late at night and onto very boggy wet ground so the next morning we got him into the yards cleaned him up and got him onto his mother. She has great temperament and knew we were there to help and followed along and walked straight into the crush. She just knew what had to be done.
This year we are using some stored embryos hoping to increase the herd size quickly after a very slow recovery from the fires of 2009 that caused us catastrophic problems.
