Hiding with mum

This is the last calf, a bull calf. He is already sold and will be a gift to the daughter of the owners of the farm where we manage the livestock. She is having this boy and the last boy calf at their own farm and they will be halter trained and tamed and go and live on the golf course they own as a bit of a visitor attraction and to graze more of the rough. We gave him his yellow earings and ringed his balls this morning so he will be a bullock and not a bull but he will keep his horns. I do love their pink noses and blue eyes when they are young like this.

The afternoon was spent getting in cattle off the hill from the farm where we manage the livestock. I took Cuillin along for the walk and he was very good at gently working the cattle when they were veering off course. We found 32 of the 40 that are out there and have put them in a hill park until we find the other 8. Quite a successful start to it. We have to make sure we get all the females off the hill as those that aren't going to the bull are to be contained far away from him so we don't have any mishaps.

12c Dry until 1pm and rain from then on.
