New July Arrival!

Today Auntie Jack had her calf! She was restless all morning and circumnavigated the paddock several times. Any chance of her having a quiet birth on her own WASN'T going to happen! Auntie Poppy and Auntie Blue followed her faithfully wherever she went.

l missed the birth by minutes! Isn't that always the way? l was in the paddock next door snipping blackberries and THOUGHT l had a close eye and ear on her but within 15 minutes of me last checking, the calf was born surrounded by loving family!!!

 Quickly licked and cleaned by a very surprised first time Mum!

 Chooks looked on

It wasn't long at all till she was up on her little wobbly feet. 

Sort of!!

Blue was verging on being annoying l must say! Poppy wandered off once she knew all was well but Blue didn't! She was fascinated!



Geoff determining if it's a boy or a girl.....................definitely a girl as l thought! And so tiny!!

Goats looked on........horse didn't!

Looking like a cross between a new born seal pup

 and a water buffalo.................

 she has done well, is drinking and even trying to frolic!

Welcome to the world little girl!!
