THE MAMAS' ARE "SPRINGING" INTO ACTION

Susan and I were up at the farm last weekend and got to witnessed the birth of one calf after another! That was something very special and something I will never forget. James said last night (Thursday Feb. 18 th.) he has 8 new calves on the farm which means a lot of little mouths to feed from the milk bottles.


First we have Bownie's calf and her name is Beech (like the tree). Below we have Hickory and Hickory came from Marcel's farm in Shoreham with another calf named Hemlock.


























On Valentine's Day Lavender gave birth to Valentine. I walked in the barn around 5 A.M. and there she was sitting behind her "mama".
Then on Monday the 15th RoseMary (one of Libery Farm's first heifers) had a baby bull calf. She was a proud new "mama" and would be joining the milkers from this point on.
