chloe has arrived

Here is our jersey cow, she is so tame and so beautiful, I have already started to halter train her, and we have used AI to put her in calf. we have used a jersey bull from america so her calf should be nice. My husband and I are so happy to add her to our menagerie. this week has also been busy minding the grandchildren etc and getting the alpacas ready for the show season. this means putting in the dreaded ear tags, a job I hate but has to be done. Halter training the young ones is difficult because I have 5 to do, they dont mind the halters but dont get the idea of walking on a lead very well, but i will perservere and hopefully they will walk well in the show. hopefully we will get a few ribbons. bye for today mareeg
