I definitely love the variety that comes with the highland coat colours, and the crazy wait to find out if it’s a heifer or bull, and what colour it is!

Award for the best dossan has to go to Hoggy. The colours. The windswept style. The sheer beauty.

Sure am glad to have her home - now we wait for Bebe 🤎

Wow this is so interesting! I’ve had a few cows slip their calves, as we all do from time to time, but usually you only discover that when they cycle again. But to actually find one and be able to see the development at 60 days gestation is pretty cool!

Sassy has grown since last year, but come see her, and the other coos in the highland judging on Wednesday October 1

For generations, cattle have been at the heart of the Melbourne Royal Show 🐮💛 Come celebrate the tradition and meet the farmers and their herds.

Today was such a beautiful day to be outside so this afternoon we made the most of it.

- Released some fish into the water troughs
- set up a green feed lick block that the girls got stuck straight into
- burnt off two small piles near the dam with a gazillion more to do
- show feeding including a probiotic paste for one not so happy little heifer
- full clean out and replacing of one puppy’s destroyed crate bed.

… and lots of cow brushing

Can’t wait to see what I can get up to tomorrow…

After a few days of getting accustomed to mums feed bucket, today month-old Tosho got his own to start show feeding. With some crushed up cubes and baby calf meal, I’m sure it won’t be long before he’s fighting mama off for the good stuff.

We are currently preparing for the Melbourne Royal Show - pencil it in and come see Tosho and the Glenstrae crew.
