Calving continues apace, tagging registering, about 14 so far. This lady calved last night herself nice heifer by Fabb 1 Northern Star but had prolapse uterus after needing a early morning visit from the vet. Tricky enough getting it back but hopefully all is well. #calving19 pic.twitter.com/eV03DUty9M

The latest arrival on the farm. A lovely heifer, needed a small pull with the ropes. Background commentary by 3yo. pic.twitter.com/Xag8DrJf8r
