Cows, calves and veterinary

First calf

No calf piccies - number Nine calved in the afternoon 10 June 2008, seven weeks before her due date. She's giving about 12 litres milk a day so far, is almost over the irrestistable temptation to bash the farm dog about and has stopped pining for the wee fella.
Nine is a four year old crossbred J12F4, in good condition. The early calving will probably compromise her production for this coming season but all other factors are good - if she gets in calf early this spring she could go on to excellence the following year.
