[QUOTE="jilleroo, post: 1071746, member: 8192"] Good for you Havinago - did you end up with a decent fall? Plenty more to come I think, for you guys anyway, not so sure about us! Great you and Ken got some good rain too Suzie. Havent heard from Burglar lately, wonder how he is going? I've got my first bucket calf for this summer. Tulip should calve fairly soon though, she's been hanging off for ages - then I can put it on her. The mother of the calf, an older cow in very good condition, prolapsed totally, don't know why as he's a fairly small calf. Have also had to de-chock a couple of cows of CS last few days. The very occasional one gets its mouth and neck packed solid with dry grass and CS - you can identify them by their poorer condition, giant squirrel cheeks and foul smell....I get them to the yards if possible, then put a poly stockstick through their mouth and tie it up like a bridle before jamming my hand in and raking everything out. Absolutely putrid and good for lots of dry retching. They really need carting home and feeding something other than CS as it will only happen again but we havent got any crates on at present.
