No. 100, my favourite cow, has calved! And unlike every other cow, refused to calve until we followed her into the barn, so I'm adding 'Cow Doula' to my CV.

But if this little heifer thought she deserved a rest after the birth experience, with an excellent mother like No. 100...think again:

Guaranteed to get a calf up and moo-ving.(...towards the annoying photographer.)

2013 is the Year of the 'B'. First name out of the hat: 'Bathsheba ' - congratulations to Diana Jackson. Special mention for Mrs Bennett, the first ginger heifer born will a 'Boudica'. Inspired!
