Dorren our large 'fat cow' (yes I am allowed to call her that) is still waiting to have her calf, she is so large that everyone seems to think that she will burst soon!
Most days this week we have hatched lots of ducklings, and to my surprise on Sunday morning 2 goslings popped out of the eggs in the incubator, normally goose eggs take 31 days to hatch but these hatched in 27 days.
The lambs are out in the feilds now with the Highland calves and at last a sign of spring grass coming through, so it will not be long before we turn the cows out as well.
The school parties having been flocking in, St. Deny's Primary school and Copnor's infants certainaly had some real budding farmers with them, these schools were lucky enough to see some ducklings and goslings which had just been hatched, and it's a real picture to see the children's faces as they get close to these little creatures.
Well better get back to work, thanks to all of you who have dropped me a message, hope to see you soon.
Farmer Bryan
