I brought a girl baby cow home by mistake. This was not my intention. But. Ah well. 
I give in. She is not a Bobby so now she will have a name and join the heifers. This calf is the tamest calf I have ever seen, she will literally stand while I stroke her all over. Too sweet to send back. Pure-bred Hereford. I guess she has joined the fold.
God said No. Fate. 
Molly is literally eating everything, at the risk of the field I had to put her out for a long while yesterday. She is eating sticks, she never has any bedding – she eats it all, she eats the walls and has started on the door. I do not know what is going on. However she is happy eating grass outside and digging holes. Better than her eating my barn. I guess she has cravings. Do pigs have cravings? 
I think Lady Astors udder is getting bigger but longer not wider. Not filling up. One month to go.

The white flock has moved into the tin chicken tractor in the garden. Their job is to clear and scratch up a new strip of vegetable garden. Once they get used to it they will realise they are much happier in there.
The turkey house will be cleaned out and sanitised for the arrival of the first batch of meat chickens that arrive next week.
Good morning. Yesterday was a pearl of a day and we began to edge and organise the first gardens in preparation for planting. Though the wind was blowing it was from the North and the first gardens are on the South of the house so we were sheltered and happy.
Last night was clear, I saw the moon for the first time in a long time. The wind comes today with some warmth. But we need the wind to dry that big pig garden. The warmth will be very much enjoyed.
I hope you have a lovely day.

What a sweet little calf. 🙂
It’s a beautiful day here too. I’m on the way to town with my dog. It’s the first time she’s been to the ‘big city’. Everything’s exciting when you’re a 10-month-old pup!
How funny – she’s a looker, so perhaps, in time, she will give you a handsome Bobby 🙂
Damnit, stop that! You’ve got ground visible and green grass even; not fair 😉
Someone gave me a bottle lamb years ago because it was a “ram lamb”…and it wasn’t ;-). Luckily I didn’t have to give her back.
Yes, she is a beauty and Mad Dog makes a good point; she may well provide you with a Bobby and, more likely, more than one. Your weather forecast sounds pretty perfect. No where near that warm here but a sunny day predicted also. Am looking forward to getting out into it. Hope you have a lovely day too ~ Mame 🙂
If you didn’t have to follow the R regime (Regina?) you could name her Oopsy-Daisy (also as a Tribute to the first beloved Daisy).
A pearl of a day! Here’s hoping for yet another!!
My comment vanished into the either. I will try to post it again. ..If you didn’t have to follow your R regime (Regina?), you could name her OopsieDaisy (also as a Tribute to the first beloved Daisy). She is a lovely little Keeper.

Oh well, a new little lady.
Have a great weekend. Gorgeous day here today. 25 degrees and sunny. We are going to crank up the BBQ for the first time this season. Can’t wait. Making pork ribs.
My sis just gave me her old Fitbit that tracks my steps daily. So I just got a big laugh imagining Tima with one on her front leg tracking her steps on her long walk with Ton Ton. Silly, I know, but funny too, as she is a little tank and needs her fitness regime! 🙂
Lovely little heifer! I am waiting for the nice weather to come to us, probably tomorrow. It’s breezy and chill here in coastal Maine today, but we are promised lovely temperatures in the next few days. I am making your bread recipe today, Celi, it’s very similar to the Ken Forkish method, but yours seems a little less complicated. Sausage and peppers for supper tonight! (with lovely bread, I hope!)
I’m glad Tima is not a car chaser, tho that would be a funny sight. Rosie, aka red for females?
Ria (as in Ria and Tia), sweet girl 🙂 Soon Molly soon. Laura
Just seen the pic of the 9 new little ones. Well done Molly 🙂 Laura
