Happy Birthday Ashley - big no 5

still on holidays

sorry guys - no photos as I have a new camera and I did not bring my cord to download - still away and on our way back tomorrow night. went to my friends 40th last night and had a great time catching up with some really long time friends from school - did not expect to see them all -

little eddie

I think we are going to call him eddie - if I had a word for "little shit' he would be called that. He has been real hard work to keep him alive but I must say I have enjoyed it albeit exhausting. The night he was was born was all good. But we woke to a very weak and dehydrated calf. We rtried to put him on mum and she kept walking away. Eventually we put them in the cattle crush area and I milked mum and sryinged into baby every hour all day - OMG was I exhausted. went to bed at 8pm and woke at 7am to find eddie latched onto mum - yippee - my hard worked paid off. Not sure if he is out of woods yet as mum does not have alot of milk but hopefully that will get better.

He is so cute and the advantage of that process is that he is good to go and pat and mum lets us so the kids are loving it.

proud grandma

How exciting (hope you dont mind the yucky picture) We have a little bull. Weighed in alot and was born about 11:30 pm. Steve and I watched him come into the world. It was so cool. All went really well last night.

This morning we got up to a very weak little calf and found out he has not been drinking. So today I have have to express from mum and syringe in the mouth - will update later

easter

happy easter girls - they woke to easter bunny leaving a cople in their bedroom but then the hunt was on outside - they had a ball
