We have been watching Charlotte anxiously for the last six weeks because she has been looking like she was going to drop her calf at any moment - but today was finally the day and we now have a healthy little bull calf who has been christened "T-Bone".  Hubby and I were lucky enough to see the whole birth and get it on video and camera for the kids to see as they were at school.  Mum and bub are both doing fine and we are looking forward to our first hand milking session in a few days.

We have wanted to add some cows to our small farm for ages and finally found a couple of Dexter cows not to far from home.  The drought this summer has been very bad so they need to put on some condition, fingers crossed that one or both are in calf because I am planning on training them to be house cows so that we can have our own fresh milk.  I'm sure it's going to be an interesting experience to say the least as I have never owned a cow before let alone trained one to do anything, but I am certainly up for the challenge!
