2009-05-12 Calf Update
Written by Andrew on May 13th, 2009Here’s a couple of phone pictures of the new calf, tentatively named “E2″.
Ella's 2009 calf, 5 days old & outside for first time
I never cease to be amazed at how quickly these calves develop. She’s been running around for a few days now. I just let Ella & E2 out into this front paddock this morning. The grass seems long enough now and is growing quickly. I put extra electric fence around so hopefully E2 will quickly learn all about it, and respect it.

As this picture shows, my concerns over the new calf getting enough to eat were unfounded. It’s easy for farm productivity to go down with calves around, it’s very peaceful just watching everything going on.
