November update

The end of the year – almost – and time to wean the calves from their patient mothers and give the hopefully pregnant cows a break through the winter before their calves are born in the spring in March / April. This year we are ‘casting’ two of our older cows so we will be sad to see them go but that’s the reality of livestock management. The calves will be trough fed along with our new bull Hector who is finding a Lewis winter a wee bit wilder and wetter than where he came from ………….. but he’s an Aberdeen Angus so he’s bred for this environment !!!
