calf creche


This is what we refer to as 'calf creche' - during the day all the calves gather together whilst their mums go off to feed - one or two of the cow mums will generally hang around to ensure that all is well with the calf collection.

It's actually quite a sweet sight - a large bunch of calves together - here they are in the paddock next to our house (it's one of the few opportunities to take a pic - they will disperse and cry out for their mums if you approach them in an open paddock - you should hear the commotion!)

oh and that's Gulaga mountain in the background... but I'll tell you some more about her another time....
