| The new bull |
The wind has come on in full force today, and brought a bull with it!
Okay, that isn't quite true. The bull was driven here in a trailer, but nevertheless he is here! We purchased him to replace Mario who was getting to be rather elderly. He is just a year old so he's still small and doesn't have the big muscular neck yet. No name has been decided on, but I'll keep you posted! (Haha, get it?)

| Milking le cow |
To step back in time for a moment, last night we welcomed a new calf! One of our cows, Kate, was taking a noticeably long time to calve. We thought we might need to pull her calf so we ran her up in the corrals. To our relief she got it out by herself, a chunk of a guy named Davie.

| Jasmine's calf and Lovely |
My last bit of news pertains to our cow Squeaky. Her bag was swollen up with so much milk that her calf couldn't nurse. This morning we milked her until it was a size her calf could manage. The milk will be put in the freezer in case we have an orphaned calf. That way we can give it some real milk instead of powdered milk replacer.
