Calfeteria by happypat

Calfeteria

Alex our granddaughter in New Zealand put this photo up on Instagram this morning.
They are rearing 329 calves this year, less than last year.
About 200 left to calve.
Alex loves being outside on the farm & her girls Nina & Tessie are well used to helping mum with the calf rearing. They have staff too of course but Alex likes to muck in. She has a girl from Kendal in England out there at the moment.

She did put up a video of them all sucking & their little tails swishing but it didn’t come over as a video. @boxplayer managed to post two videos so I was hoping to show the live show here….not to be sadly.

I am going to Cork in Ireland tomorrow until Sunday night late but hoping to take some different photos. I might be absent for a few days!
Lol!! Like a rugby scrum for cows! Love it. I don’t know how Boxplayer does it with videos on here. Never worked that out!

@boxplayer Enlighten us! How do you do it?

That’s a huge job to rear so many calves. Those two little girls will be knowledgeable farmers!

A great shot. Enjoy your trip to Cork.

So I've just uploaded a video https://365project.org/boxplayer/365/2024-08-24

I find it fiddly uploading on a phone because the URL you paste to import to 365 doesn't work without changing the format a little. And on the phone view, it doesn't show the format to change it so i do it on my tablet or laptop. So step by step:

Upload your video to YouTube.
Use a tablet or laptop to find your video on YouTube - click Share, then Copy link.
Go to the 365 upload page and find the Add a Video section at the bottom where you'll see the correct format for the video URL under the field for importing the URL.
Paste the URL you copied into the import field and you'll see it won't be in the exact same format as the example and you have to tweak it otherwise it comes up with 'invalid URL'.

Using as an example the one I just uploaded, this is what was copied when I clicked on Copy link:
https://youtu.be/XkngagCPSrQ?si=cfks4Rylo0jUYQ1v

I had to change it to the below format to get it to import to 365

@boxplayer Well I should have a go when I come back from Ireland perhaps! You are the only one I have seen post a video! Thanks for the info! X

Wow....it really is in the blood isn't it!! Says so much about how well it was done in years past, and not something that can be done half heartedly. 🥰

This is amazing. I've never seen so many calves at once
