First time the mummas have seen their bubs since weaning. . And it freezing cold!

Today is weaning day for these little munckins. Not a pleasant few days but they are too big to be drinking off their mums.
So sorry Neighbours ☹️

If you ever wondered about polled cows here an explanation

https://www.facebook.com/100078058984404/posts/453387393939890/?

What is the difference between polled and homozygous polled?

Polled cattle are cattle that are born without horns but when a bull is polled and bred to a horned female the resulting calves will be a mix of both polled and horned progeny. Homozygous Polled cattle are also polled but when a bull is homozygous polled and bred to a horned female all resulting calves will be polled.

With calving season upon us, here is an important nugget of knowledge that may just save a life!! An emergency resuscitation technique for calves that are born not breathing or with a weak heartbeat…
There is a pressure point (GV-26) at the bottom of the nostrils, dead center…bird peck this point firmly with your fingernail, key, etc. 😊

Thanks Nick from Happy Hooves Waikato coming to our place and doing all the girls tootsies . Some were long some were not bad and one was really bad . Happy feet , happy cows. The girls were pretty well behaved considering they have never had this treatment before

Time for the girls to clean the race up.

Never a dull moment here. Tootsies done and fly strike applied.

Fresh lush grass for the mums, babies and R1 year olds. I’m running all together this year. Makes life easier so far. All happy and content.

New R1 s put in with the main herd this morning. Not sure they have had steep hills like we have but they will soon get used to it.

Slowly thinking I won’t kill them. Bought a molasses mineral lick that will help them no end. Had a few licks , won’t take long for them to enjoy it.

Emerald births a beautiful big Heifer this morning . 20kilos . A Bonny lass lol. I have named her Emerald Jules.

We said good bye to Marshall Cooper today. Hope he enjoys his new ladies . New bloodlines being introduced to my girls next season. We have the last of Marshalls baby’s due next month.

Ponies all rugged up, slush for Africa and yes snow clouds up on the Mountain and Ranges. It’s cold !

Ruby and the young ones coming to say hello. These weaned calves and R2s are particularly quiet. I think Pet Ruby is a good influence 😍

Clearly no one wants to move paddock this morning. Preparing for the cyclone. Moving animals to safe shelter paddocks. They can hunker down behind hills from the south easterly

Spring grass and they all feel frisky💕

A horrible stormy day at Rocklyn Stud this morning. You can see the snow clouds over the Mountain and Rangers.

Congratulations Wills and Micheal on your new baby. This is by my Bull Marshall Cooper out of one of my breeding cows I sold to the boys. So very exciting , they have 2 more girls to calve. 😍😍😍💕
