No-name is a quick learner.

No-name has learnt very quickly that me plus a bottle equals food. This morning he ran into the race (a dead end) and waited. I locked us both in and held out the bottle in front of his mouth. He took the bottle. This afternoon he just stayed still and then came to the bottle. The next step will be to get him to come when called. When this happens he can go out and meet the other calves and we can feed him in the paddock.
Janette did a big shop in Benalla for Candice again this morning. She drove to Mansfield, met Candice and transferred groceries and some home cooking to her car.
On the way back, Janette passed that winery again. Let me rephrase that. On the way back she called in at that winery again. They only have twelve boxes of $2 Merlot left. Let me rephrase that. They now only have eight boxes left. I know, it makes us look like big boozers - we're not - honest - honest...
As we were about to have dinner, Janette went to investigate why a cow was calling out. She found that her calf was on the wrong side of the fence and she was telling it to come back in. It obviously couldn't so we were out there with spotlights trying to herd it towards a gate and mum. It's not easy to move a single animal, especially a little calf. Anyway, it's back with mum.
We want to order the timber for the front fence soon, so we'll do a bit of road work in readiness. More on that tomorrow.Läs mer
