Emergency fencing first thing this morning as Strawberry (our resident Houdini) has found a weak point in the fencing and pushed her way through.

She hadn't gone far.... just to the green grass on the other side. And as she is tame she is easy to put back into the field. But this is not the early wake-up call that we enjoy 🤦‍♀️

Getting fed round before the storm.Alas i was on gate duty.... thats the kind of job we had kids for 😂

Spot the Spud!
I've been at a meeting this morning, and when I got back, Spud wasn't in the house so I went looking for him.

Busy morning so far on the farm.....
Firstly the stores that we weaned a month ago decided to explore a different field, so first thing was a call from Ange to say they weren't where they should be. Fortunately they were only in the corner field and came straight back to Rob's call. Actually they will be coming into the sheds ASAP.
Which leads nicely to the second job this morning when Robin arrived with his straw lorry to take a load of spring barley straw back to Staffordshire..... so we are making progress emptying the cattle sheds.
Then Rob popped to a neighbours farm to borrow their grass rake as ours is still with the mechanic getting mended 🤦‍♀️
So now out to row up the grass for silage before the weather turns again.
And its not even lunchtime yet.

Hooray.... there is a tiny bit of grass that is worth cutting for silage. Its been a tough battle this year to have enou...

Hooray.... there is a tiny bit of grass that is worth cutting for silage. Its been a tough battle this year to have enough forage for winter for our herd. But every little bit helps and will make it a tad easier for us.

Its rather damp and autumnal this morning. I think these ladies and their young calves are happy to be under cover today. Rob's on with feeding and bedding round in the yard.
Its that time of year when we start to prepare for all the herd to come home for the winter.
We need to get the sheds emptied of machinery and ready for them.
Having said that, whilst its still mild and dry underfoot they are able to stay out in the fields a bit longer..... it all depends on what the weather decides to do.

Another load of barley straw off to Staffordshire yesterday.

We temporarily store extra straw to sell in our cattle sheds so we need it to be sold and gone before the cattle come inside in November.

Rob's also busy contracting with the avadex spreader as well as feeding the cattle in the fields, so im not seeing much of him at the moment.

Unfortunately whilst Rob was loading this straw he found the current egg laying spot for my hens.... but he didn't notice until they fell on the ground and smashed 🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️

I've been struggling with mobility over the past 3 weeks since I injured my foot. Which is why I haven't been able to take many photos.

I've not been able to walk much and only on level surfaces which has meant I've not been able to get out and about round the fields

I am getting better slowly and today I've finally managed to walk into a field. Hooray!

So I've managed to pop over and say hello to Penelope and Hermione. Its only when I was getting cuddles from these girlies that I realised just how much I have missed them ❤️

Awww new sweetie.

We are rather out of rhythm with our calving dates.... we aim to calve between November and May, but the last couple of years the dates have slipped (possibly made worse by the hot summers causing miscarriage). As we let the bulls run with the cows for several months, they can get pregnant if they lose a calf.....
...and then we end up with new born calves in September and October!

Spud and I go on the great egg hunt twice a day. Some ladies do use the nesting boxes I've provided, but some don't!

Every time I think I've found their current laying spot they go and change it! This is the most recent spot.... its taken me 3 days to find it and there is a dozen eggs there.

However, I'll have to start the hunt all over again tomorrow when they move to a new place.
It will get a little easier when we've sold all this straw.
