When the 'cow-man' delivered Hainoa he had sad news about the other little cow who was meant to be joining us in September. She died a few days ago of tetanus. Apparently it is rare in cows so they are not vaccinated as humans and horses are. Obviously we were very sad to hear this.
They have another girl calf who was born a few days ago. She is black and we are planning on taking her - we have named her Islay - she will need to stay with her mother for 9 months so it won't be until the very end of the year or possibly next year that she is here. We hope to borrow a friend for Hainoa in the mean time, a little boy called Hoppy. Photos to follow.
