From calving to clover: a busy spring on Kay's organic suckler farm

Calving has gone well so far on the farm, with just a few cows left to calve. All calves were weighed at birth, with an average weight of 45kg, with one calf from a first-calver weighing 63kg (sired by Tubridmore Twomey).

I only used one AI straw from this bull. It will be very interesting to see how this calf performs compared to his comrades over the next 12 months.
