Calf being born

 On Wednesday I went to the farm. We saw a calf being born. The mum was on the ground and it was half way out. Then the mum stood up and the cow fell out onto the ground. It was gross watching it. Then the mum started to lick the calf for a little bit. She was cleaning the calf up because it was dirty and had some blood on it. They need to get it clean so the calf will not get attacked by dogs. When we left the calf was up and walking. We have 8 calves now they are all black and white. 1 of the calves has a heart on it's head.

Bonfire

On Sunday it was a full moon so we had a massive bonfire. We threw big logs and branches into the fire. Here is a photo of  Ashton and me making fireflies. They went higher than the giant macrocarpa tree that is 2x bigger than my house.

Riding on our muddy farm

During lockdown, we have been riding on my papa's 4WD motorbike on our muddy farm. It has been raining a lot so we had to ride through deep puddles and we got really dirty. When we went back to my house, we had to have a wash outside with the hose to try get all the mud off. It was freezing.

Riding in muddy paddocks is one of my favourite things that I have done since lockdown.

Little calf Maisie

On Thursday I went to my dad's farm in Awanui. I saw a  calf that had just been born. It was in the warmest corner by the bamboo bushes. We had to go there twice a day to check on the calf and the mum. We called the calf Maisie. She is black and white with soft fluffy fur like a sheep's fur. She’s cute and runs very fast. Whenever I see her she is laying down because she gets tired quickly. 

Question: How long does it take until calves can walk?
