The calving was fast and furious to begin with so lack of space in the byre meant that we had to turn out cows when their calves were a few days old. The weather was great and the ground drying up nicely.
Naturally another week brought rain, hail, sleet and snow and it hasn't improved much in the weeks since so the second wave of calves is still in the byre and I don't see them going out for another few weeks yet...but I'm feeling pretty cheerful today, only another three to come and that'll be the calving over for another year. We might even get the rest of them out of the byre before the 15th of May..blissful thought.
