Anah has a boy

The last of the cows calved early this morning in the (fairly) torrential rain. We went down the field in the truck at about 10.30am to see if they were ok - all the other cows and calves were sheltering under some overhanging trees near the gate, but Anah and her calf were lying in the middle of the field in all the rain. They were cuddled up together, and as we approached she got up - she looked like she had had a bit of a rough time, but the calf seemed fine. He was shivering a bit, but that's nature's way to warm up, and when he got up he went straight to Anah to try all four teats for a suckle, then they trotted off together into the rough marshy bit to escape from us!
