Nothing at 4.00 am when I went out to check, but new calf up and sucking at breakfast time, when I next went out. Although Mum is looking less then happy, she was actually calmer then many cows. On average thirty farmers die in work related accidents per annum and of those two farmers are killed by cattle. Calving is a particularly dangerous time as the cow has extra hormones surging through her body and is very protective of her calf. As a rule of thumb I don't get between mother and calf and I remove the calf to a safe area to"Tag, Jag and Debag". This picture was taken when Mother and daughter were reunited.
