A new regime started today. She will receive an increased amount of calf pellets and hay daily but only one evening milk feed - with a view to being fully weaned in a month or so (depending on her condition over the coming weeks).
Happily for all concerned, she didn't seem greatly fazed by the changes, though stood at the fence and began mooing much earlier in the afternoon than usual! Over the past few days, she has been rope-led from enclosure to paddock and vice versa (given her recent tendency to run-off during transit). Vaughan led her back from her front paddock this afternoon. She trotted along quite eagerly - hooray!
Tea slurped her milk in record time - and seems to have largely given up on "asking" for my fingers to suck on. That's definitely cause for celebration as far as I'm concerned!
