22/04: Jenny the mother cow had a very smooth birth again on 21/04. She is an exeperienced cow. Less than five minutes after the amniotic sac became visible, the calf was already out in three pushes. The afterbirth came out after about four hours this time.
She is also a very calm and attentive cow.
I am going to name her calf "Jelly". Jaro and Jana have now a little sister.

21/04: Newly born calf. The birth went smoothly and the mother cow didn't need any help. The calf had a little trouble latching on properly, but with a little help, it worked out.
Within the first few hours, it received as much colostrum as possible.
In the meantime, the calf has recovered well.
I am going to name her "Jelly".

Cold, wet weather makes lambing season tough… these little ones don’t get an easy start 💔🐑 It’s all part of real farm life 🌧️ #Farmlife #Lambing
#TongueOutTuesday

This made me laugh out loud when I was scrolling through the photos I took that day. Sorry for the terrible resolution but I needed a tight crop for the full effect. 😛

One wheelbarrow load (of about 90 more) full of black soil from mature compost. I'm very happy with the endresult. This soil was particularly loose; the cow manure had been left to aerate for about 1.5 years on branches and deadwood in partial shade.

I’ve pulled about 10 wheelbarrows full of creeping bentgrass (Elymus repens) by hand from the meadow near the edge of the manure pile. It’s a pretty stubborn plant. But I’ve got it well under control now. You have to carefully remove every single strand by hand so that it doesn't sprout again.
The dry soil made it a little easier.
