Calving got off to a great start, with the first cow giving birth to twins (see post here). Now up to 10 calves, and they are a real mix of colours. I knew that some of the cows had been with a Brahman bull, and that is obvious in many of them (the whiter calves, with big ears). Some have clearly been with another bull though, perhaps a Senepol but I don’t know for sure.

Here’s a nice video taken yesterday of all the cows and calves ( minus 1) as they excitedly go into a new paddock. The last, the little red calf being checked on by it’s mum, is the newest – born sometime during the week. Very pleased to see the cows in such good condition (solid and fat) with calves at foot.
