Today I moved Flora and Little Moo in with rest of the cows, and they promptly marched out into the driveway grazing area. The rest followed rather sheepishly, and will hopefully make a dent in the long grass.
Discovered another broody, this one in the implement shed. Classic broody behaviour of puffing up, growling and mad pecking.
The calves have nibbled the muesli at the new station, I think it's going to be a matter of waiting until the milk ration doesn't meet all their needs before they hook in, as the are grazing with the big cows now and not as hungry as they might be if they were in a pen by themselves.
Sarge had a big night last night, bringing in a bat (released), a mouse (Shadow ate it) and a huge rat (thankfully dead). He was quite pleased with himself.
I emailed off my application for the Council admin positions, yet another wait and see exercise.
Leigh killed another pig, currently hanging from the forks of his tractor in my hay shed, wrapped in a sheet. Hopefully there will be bacon.
Charlie dropped around to talk silage and hay, he will take two of my older bales of silage in return for organising the delivery of 10 round bales of hay from a contact of his. He is also on the lookout for small squares and we will keep each other informed. In the meantime he has photos of the hay feeder he made out of a palecon, and it struck me that one might form the basis of a good calf and hay sledge too.
