It’s been a long time we had some cute calfies arriving here. Due to the bovine tuberculosis (TB) we had no new calves for the last 2.5 years. The last additions were Agnes Moo, Abigail Nosy Moo and Angela Moo in 2017.

Abigail Moo left us two weeks ago and yesterday was the day 3x cute new calfies arrived. They nicely and friendly walked down the driveway into the shelter and are now happily mixing and mingling with the horses.

On top of that, we had some rain yesterday and overnight. Yay! Bring on 2020.

Summer has come to an official end, and one can tell. The nights are getting colder, the fog in the morning gets more, although beautiful to watch.

Spring came and went, Summer took over without much changing. It’s still raining every other day and the sun shines intermittently. But on the bright side that has made all the grass grow.
