Venus had her calf

She wasn’t due for 6 more days, but Doug heard crazy mooing like a cow was being murdered and in agony. I was at my desk working and didn’t hear the commotion, but I slammed down the phone on the call I was on and rushed out to investigate. We found she had given birth and the calf had slid out under a tree trunk and was stuck.

We fished it out to find a pretty little girl calf. It takes them a little while to stand and they often find it hard on our steep land.

Resting after all the effort. Poor Venus still looks worried, but it getting over the shock of it all

What a cute face! We have called her Clover
