Yesterday I was startled to find Daisy back drinking off Crystal. So we rushed down to separate them yet again. So much for the euphoria of returning the herd to its former shape. I honestly thought after a week and a half she would be weaned - I must have been wrong. While this just proves my inexperience in this field - it’s been another lesson learnt. Although this is disappointing it’s not all bad news. Crystal is finally standing still outside of the milking unit for Zulu to drink in short bursts. Zulu the baby calf doesn’t seem to be too anxious about the separation from the rest of the herd as long as he is around Crystal. He follows her persistently all day and is becoming more determined with her.
