Every new day on the farm brings new life and new hope
I remember being upset a few of years ago when we lost a special cow and a well meaning person in the room making the pragmatic statement “when you have live ones you will have dead ones”. Lets say I didn’t find it very comforting.
As yesterday’s post alluded a bit of good news wouldn’t a stray. Sadly not only did we lose Simola in the flood we lost our beautiful princess the Divine Eileen to what the vet believes was snake bite. That was devastating for everyone on the farm
Eileen now has a paddock named after her
So you can imagine the excitement yesterday when the world famous Magpie calved and had a little girl
Watch her first steps here – just adorable
Magpie is destined for fame with her mum attracting widespread media attention over the last couple of years
She also stars at the end of this video which won Emma the Heywire Competition
and then her sister with Emma last year
and then there is her grandmother the most bizarre cow on the planet
