modelfarmer2010 Posted April 14, 2013 Author Share Posted April 14, 2013 (edited) Got the straw put into calving bay and straight away i had a sick calf to put in so got a few pallets from around the farm and a oil drum to corner in the calf The farmer went off and got the heat lamp so he hopes he won't have to bring the vet The farmer was just finished with the calf when he spotted another cow calving so into the bay for her too [url=http://s1283.photobucket.com/user/modelfarmer2010/media/DSCF6530_zps43f8fe18.jpg.html][img=http://i128 Edited April 14, 2013 by modelfarmer2010 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
