Antenatal clinic

I haven’t been out at all today & suddenly remembered tonight I had no photo for today.
Suddenly remembered my eldest son in NZ had sent a photo the other day of vets scanning their cows to see if they are in calf.
Quite an interesting photo...to us anyway so thought I would pinch it!
I haven’t heard the result!
They are in Auckland at the moment having been to see Sarah Millican in concert.

Three good things:
1. I bought a wheat bag off a friend this morning, she makes them for charity.
2. So lovely to lock the doors after our tea & sit beside the wood burner...best part of the day when it’s so cold!
3. Our son in law is having a great time skiiing with friends although rather too much snow for his liking!

A fascinating view behind the scenes at the farm.

This is a huge area and full of equipment! Serious farming! I presume your B&B guests have a key too?

[Lou Ann]

My goodness! Farming is very technical now! Great photo.

@maggiemae No one in for next three nights zmaghie but when they stay they do have a key, we never see then come in as they go in the front & bypass our quarters!

[Pat Knowles]

@louannwarren It is indeed, lots of tech stuff!

[Pat Knowles]

@busylady b big stuff here as they need to know which cows are in calf, the answer depends on their future for the next few months.

Lets hope they had a good result .. a job we have yet to do .. It all hinges on these results... Usually a job for me to do the recording ..

That's very interesting. Hubby has just been re-reading James Herriot's books, so this is quite topical in our house!

[Beryl Lloyd]

Just like a factory !! with all those clients outside waiting for their turn . So much precision in farming these days .

[Bep]

Interesting picture, Pat.

@julzmaioro I helped with the recording once when Ant & Jo were milking, like an ice cream seller with my little tray! We didn’t do it quite like that here.

[Pat Knowles]

@beryl There is Beryl, lots of systems to help farmers but lots of new rules & paperwork to fill in too!

[Pat Knowles]

@casablanca Ah James Herriot a calmer nicer way of farming in my opinion! Loved those books & the TV series.

[Pat Knowles]

@gijsje I thought so too!

[Margaret Pengelly]

How dairying has changed. A very interesting photo

[KWind]

Interesting shot, it tells a story.

A cool working image

[Wendy]

So neat to see how others do it. It does have an air of efficiency about it!
Well done.

Very interesting

[carol white]

An interesting capture of the farm workings

Nice shot, how farming has become so scientific!
