Hazell Mullins: The Santa 'spring essential' list for healthy calves

Calf jackets are a now staple of our calf-rearing protocol on the farm.
It won’t be long now until the man himself, Santa Claus, will be making his journey around the world and farmers must stay off the naughty list to ensure their "spring essentials" are delivered on Christmas morning.
My Santa "spring essential" list is pretty concise this year, a new calving gate, a cubical scraper, new waterproofs, and perhaps a nice new Tori Burch handbag under the tree would be extra nice.
