An early morning in the mist and the mother cows are up looking after their calves. On the left is Blackie and her black female calf. On the right is mother 78, who has the same last two working numbers as her daughter, heifer 78. We don’t have a 78 tag for this calf to continue the tradition so we’ll call him Huit instead.

The heifers, like all teenagers, are sleeping in.

The mother cows yet to calve are enjoying a bit of a lie-in, too.
