New Arrivals May 19th




Its been a busy old day today for additions to the Ryder family farm!!
Our first excitement was the birth of our first Belted Galloway calf. Chris went up the fields this morning and there it was safely arrived.
A little heifer calf which I have called May. Its sooo cute and tonight when we went up to take pics its so sprightly and she and her Mother wandered away up the hill, her little legs wobbling along but going at a fair pace all the same. Luckily Chris got it tagged this morning before it got to know how fast it could run!!
Our last Mule Hogg lambed at lunchtime so we have our last lamb of the season. It looked so so small compared to those born last month and even back up to the end of Feb, they seem so big now!
And the last arrivals were some Holstein heifers which are here for summer hols. I call them Club 18-30 holiday makers as they all end up going home pregnant from here, thanks to the AI Man. Say no more!!.
All in all a very lovely day of new creatures here at Scaife Hall Farm!
