.. has proven herself to be a voracious eater, with a lovely friendly temperament and plenty of gumption, even chewing down on her cabbage (sliced very small with a little molasses).
With Sheila very loudly eating her hay next door as a ‘good example’.
And being watched by a cat. Of course. There is always a cat somewhere, watching.
I called the vet about Daisy being so late and she said take her for a walk. So we did. We walked up and down Pats Paddock. I said to her lucky they are not making you jump down steps .. a doctor did that to me once.
If there is no change this morning I shall call and see if we need to induce her. Her udder is so big now she is rubbing herself raw. Nothing is easy this year.
Come on Daisy.
Poppy.
She does have some toilet issues but I am putting that down the change in diet and environment. She is also very small for her age, but sturdy. Good legs. She is a climber too, I found her literally climbing the walls!
I hope you all have a lovely day.
I hope I have some good news for you soon.
your friend on the farm

Poppy feels the farmy love and calm atmosphere, she will do well. Now for daisy, maybe you need to chase her across the yard! 😉
MORNING! Just popping in really quickly.. will be back later. GREAT News! Daisy had a perfect little bull calf with no trouble at all. He took a while to stand up but is dried off, has had a drink and his jacket on .. Daisy is such trooper.. Right! Best I get on and feed the others.. everyone but Poppy had to wait until the Wee Bobby was up and Daisy sorted. She had trashed her bedroom!! Back soon.. c
Wonderful news! I’m sure we are all breathing a huge sigh of relief with you and Daisy the Trouper!!

Awesome news! She was waiting for a warmer day 🙂 Look forward to seeing some pictures tomorrow!
Oh well done Daisy, the new jewellery worked 🙂 Welcome to the Farmy Poppy – we will be watching you. Laura
OH MY !! If I am reading this right ,we have a new calf!! I was put off by the gravatar. So Welcome to the world little one!!Poppy is a perfect name for a lovely bit of piggyness… Oh happy day on the farmy.
GREAT NEWS ! Welcome to the world little Baby Bull!!!! I am so happy that all went well. You just can not add any more cute critters, C! My husband is worried about me every morning when I am oohing over Marcel, and Marmalade and now Poppy.!!!!! And now a new baby bull—-whatever will I do with another cute baby to ooh and ah over??? My husband will surely commit me!!!!
So many wonderful pics today. Marcel looks like he is gaining weight…or maybe his fur is just growing. 🙂 Anyway, he looks good. Poppy is precious. I wish I could reach through the screen and give her a good scratch! I do so hope there is good news about Daisy very, very soon. Keeping my fingers crossed.
YAY! Go Daisy! So happy the birth went smoothly and all is well. You mentioned that Daisy udder is rubbed raw. Do you ever use Bag Balm on her udder? I have a can that I use on my hands occasionally when they are especially abused from excessive yard work. We used to sell it at the quilt store for hand quilter’s sore “under the quilt” fingers.
YAY DAISY!!!!
yes bag balm is my constant (and Daisy’s) companion.. I love how it comes in mini tins too! c
Ya! Has Boo fallen in love with the new fella yet?
Dogs are being kept out, as Daisy will rush at them possibly knocking her own calf over in the process, so no dogs until everything settles down.
Sending positive thoughts to that beautiful Daisy.
Well done Daisy! and it’s great news that all went well. I have fallen in love with poppy, how cute is she! Hope all the babies thrive I’m sure they will x
Beautiful, every one of them!
Good news, Celi, and glad to hear Daisy and calf are doing fine. With the arrival of Poppy and a new calf, it’s a good day on the farm. Yay!
Poppy is so darling! Marcel is still smiling. Daisy looks, yes, tired and listless. And the cat looks inscrutable. I love them all! Such dear friends they’ve become.
Wonderful news! The newest addition warmly welcomed, and still awaiting one more! Congratulations!!
Ah. and all’s right with the world has returned with everything properly sorted (as much as possible anyway!) YEA Daisy!
Cheers to the new little ones. (and bet Poppy can swim, too – an athlete!)

Well that’s fantastic news about Daisy’s Bobby, and that mama and calf are doing fine. What a relief. You needed to have something go well in this department. It’s so great to see all of the animals basking in the sunshine. Marcel is growing so fast and Poppy is just adorable. I hope she and Sheila will be fast friends. Happy Day and Happy Spring!
