[QUOTE="Kiwi Pete, post: 4355414, member: 63856"] Today - sort of work..[ATTACH=full]589060[/ATTACH] Attached some ply panels to the family trailer to make a bit of shelter for calves, after emptying the mulch that's been sitting at big sister's house since I delivered it last month :facepalm::rolleyes: And then a road trip - ("I'm hungry""I'm really very thirsty""I'm very hot today" from Charlie) - to my mate/mentor/ex employer's farm to pick up some 4 day old calves[ATTACH=full]589066[/ATTACH] we have mostly shorthorn dairy x, couple of nice Limo's, and a sulky Angus x bull calf that were too good to go on the truck. 10 this time, and we'll grab another 5 -$50 each :):) - a discount on the pasture meter we sold him (y) Then, had to pick up our first dead lamb from the hoggets, scanned as a single, but had a live and a dead twin:( Second 'single' that's had twins - so the % is still ok (y) have 5 alive from 4 and the one wee dead jigger. Only 26 still to lamb. Moved the bulls into their paddock to clean it up, and then set up the back of the shearing shed as a calf nursery :rolleyes:[ATTACH=full]589068[/ATTACH] with milk, wee bit of crushed barley (until I get a hay feeder made up) and a portable water trough. Looks funny seeing calves snoozing in the woolshed, but they're only in there to learn about their new feeders :cool: then they can cruise around and enjoy the place (y) [/QUOTE]
