There is plenty of snow in the resort, but the weather is so nice it is a shame not to enjoy it with the horses too…

Getting Festive
Covid has perhaps turned us in to weird hermits who rarely see anyone but each other. In the run up to Christmas we did a crazy amount of socialising comparatively, though not much compared to days of yore.

Wellington went to the abattoir
It was sad to see him go. He was a sweet cow, but we can’t keep the males or all the females.
On the left here (with weaning ring). Dorne on the right will go next year.
We spent a lot of time getting him used to being caught so we could get him in the trailer. We had to get to the abattoir before the crack of dawn and we almost didn’t catch him because they were all very suspicious about this crack of dawn visit! Stressful!,
But all’s well that ends well (not for Welly I guess)
This is how to fit a cow in a small car…
