It happens to us all eventually....we grow up!
The calves have all grown up so big, it is time to separate them from their Mums.
The cows are all expecting new babies in July, so it it time for the big calves to move on.
All of the cows were scanned in January and those that are not growing a baby calf inside are going to the saleyards.
All the cattle that leave the farm must have a special ear tag, this tag tells the buyer who and where the animal came from. It is my job to load the ear tagging gun, it takes lots of concentration!
The calves will stay in the yards for a few days until they settle down.
We will feed them twice a day.
They love the hay it makes them very quiet...for a little while!
