Nothing too exciting has been going on at the farm lately, just more of the same stockwork and fencing (which I think will continue for months and months to come!).
The broody hen is still sitting and unfortunately nothing came of the eggs she was sitting on. We are hoping to pick up a rooster within the next few weeks, so maybe he will get her moving?!?
Here are some pictures I took around the farm today.
The two Spiny Spiders are quite common down in our 'swamp' paddock. Fortunately they are not venomous!
The black Angus calves are growing quickly. The calf with the splotchy face is the only multi-coloured calf on the property.

The trees we planted with the help of Mum, Dad, Lana and Jarrod are all growing rapidly. I'm sure they will be giving the cows some shelter in no time.
I was planning to take Willy for a ride this weekend, but once again, he is lame. Not sure what it is this time, but he seems a little better today.
Buck is still obsessed with the Chickens. They now seem to play games with him. The latest was a chook standing on the window sill this afternoon. I'm sure Buck would have eaten her if there wasn't a window in between. Mind you, if there wasn't a window in between them, the chook probably would have been smart enough not to jump up there!
Those spiders are scary looking! Funny how Willy is lame whenever you want a ride, does he plan it that way? And your chickens are smart! Great photos, xJ
ReplyDeleteWonderful photos Nique. Must check the shoes next time I put them on at your place. I would hate one of those spiny thorny spiky spiders hanging around in there!! How cute (sorry Tom) is the splotchy face calf? It's always good to stand out in the crowd! MX
