New paddock for the calves.

No sign of the cows this morning so I went looking for them 'up the top'. Sure enough, there they were - happy as cows in knee high feed.
The bull is due to be put out with them at the beginning of November. Darren and Catherine have 'borrowed' our bull since they bought their block.

This bull is in a bull paddock close to where our cows are now. Hopefully, they'll stay up there till November.
With any luck, the trees near the house will be taken out soon. I've emailed Jason to ask him to drop two dead trees in the calving paddock too.
