A sunny day with patches of overcast.
The vet came to preg check Belle and Beanie and castrate Abe. Beanie came up 5 months plus pregnant and Belle is maybe two weeks, and will need to be rechecked in a month. This is a concern, as Belle has never had any problem getting pregnant before, but lost a short term pregnancy before the last preg check. Hopefully this one sticks.
The vet also suggested that fatties Belle, Beanie and Moose should be grazing the older pastures that have gotten about waist height as the long fibre in that grass was better for them than the sugar filled regrowth from the hay cutting. So I put the three of them back in the cottage paddock and patched the fence where it had fallen over. They were not happy, many animals feel a bit exposed in the paddock. The hops and silver birch plantings are designed to help make it less open, but it will take time.
Work was mad. Five minutes to closing and we had four registers open and queues at all of them.
