Udder Watch II

We moved the smaller mob of 6 heifers up to the yards this afternoon as Heifer 30 (Harry's mum) is off to meet the homekill guy tomorrow. Heifer 30 is looking great and it'll be interesting to see what weight she is.

Another interesting observation - one of the black and white heifers we bought in April has developed a rather good sized udder!! Ben noticed a small one about a week ago so my bet is she isn't far off. She has a round belly too so looks like we'll have another Harry (or Harriette) sometime very soon.

In the spirit of Udder Watch, some pics - just from my phone so not super duper quality:

We are also due to get the hay cut in the next day or two, and I had a wander through it this morning. It's very thick so we will hopefully get around 1500 bales from it.

Stay tuned for more udder watch pics!
