It's always a joy when new life joins the farm. Twin calves are rare I've been told - so these two are a treasure. It's been interesting watching how the group take time to look after the new life. Mum has the back up and support from her offspring of last year "Bully bully" and the other heifer. They all help to watch over the youngsters. Our editing skills are not so good so apologies for the side ways view of 'bully bully', if you can stand the wait the dogs timid approach at the end is a little humorous. He is not sure how to approach cows, he's still a youngster and not sure as you can see....
When Jake's Dad came to work on the website we took some time out to meet the residents. Thanks Deane for all your hard work on the website we really could not have done it without you...your patience is amazing.
Well how embarassing...get the webcam working and then run out of data !
We will be back on Tuesday with the live chicken pen once we have set up our new data plan. Our farm is
in a bad position for receiving internet access - welcome to rural New Zealand where you can live an hour from
Auckland but cannot receive broadband by any major telco. Cheers and thanks for your patience.
We have a facebook page now - http://www.facebook.com/DownAtTheFarm.nz - how very 2006 of us LOL, and even more importantly...
The live chicken video is available - just go to the adopt-a-chicken page to see our chooks every day, live!
