Farm Life

Farm life is very busy... especially during CALVING.

But I am being a very big helper. In the mornings mum & I go up to the shed.. we help Justin finish milking... Mum's job it to stand with the new cows who have never been milked before -sometimes she even has to hold there tails, just if they are naughty!!

Then we feed our calves... We teach the new ones how to drink but the big ones just gobble it down.

In the afternoons... we help bring the any calves that have been born up to the shed and then we feed all the calves again...

Some days its wet and yucky and I cant be bothered helping so I stay in the car. Mum has made me a special space in the backseat with my books, dvd player and even a pillow & blanket.

But mostly I like helping... especially when I get to go on the tractor or motorbike :-)

This is my little friend... she was tiny.. so small that I had to stand beside her while mum got her drinking just so she wouldnt fall over. We got to keep her for almost two weeks before she was big enough for a ride on the truck. I was sad to see her go!
