It's a wet day today but chores still have to be done. My little helper and I put on heavy coats and spent some time in the rain.
We weaned off calves this weekend and it is very noisy here. It will be for several days. The Scottish Highland cattle are great mothers and do not want to be away from their calves. We put them on the opposite sides of a fence but so they can still see each other. This seems to help with the stress that goes on during this time.
I am trying to post a video of about 30 seconds of the vocals being heard around here every hour of every day. It is quite the cacophony of sound.
Once all these cattle have calmed down I will get some pictures of the weanlings up. I will have about a dozen up for sale. I always try to keep a few and the kids have their fair calves that usually stay here on the farm for the rest of their lives. The Highlands are a much enjoyed adventure.
