No more milk for Tea!

Our calf, Tea, was just a few weeks old when she came to live with us on 25 May.  Vaughan had already been visiting her daily to assist with her afternoon feeds. 

From her arrival till early September, Tea received two three-litre milk feeds each day (in all kinds of weather). 

Increasing amounts of calf pellets were added to her diet in July (initially with small amounts of hay and straw also). 

For the past six weeks or so, Tea has received her milk of an evening only - with a larger ration of calf pellets to compensate for the reduced milk.  She drank her last bucket of milk last night and won't be getting the pellets for much longer either.


Tea's a proper big cow now - in more ways than one, proving to be quite the escape artist, which will probably see us purchasing some electric fence over the weekend!
