Mabel is in calf! She's saved fae the cull!
Posted: Saturday, 04 August 2007 |
Oh happy day! My lovely pet coo is in calf - and now she won't have to be culled from the herd. I'm SO GLAD I spoke up that day when she was being prepared to be sent off. The veet came and PD'd the heefiers and Mable (a totally undignified job!!) and sure enough she found "buttons" forming on Mable's womb and the main calf vein pulsing with life. YIPPEEE!!! Mable is saved!!

Until the next time...
Flying Cat from looking hopeful
If Mabel were to have twins, would she get twice the reprieve? Thank heavens we are not cattle.

On the other paw, you wouldn't be forced into a long and nasty decline, because the kind handsome farmer would get the v.e.t in to put you to sleep...
Flying Cat from a balanced view
Unlike the decline of the roman empire, and now the american one, let mine be swift, o lord, but not too swift, and yet relatively painless, with my brains (which I happen to treasure) not addled.

They're certainly worth treasuring.
Flying Cat from an admiring glance
I hope Mabel's still keeping well...when is she due to pop?

So...I traded my quiet cabin in the Alaskan woods for the howling winds of Orkney and life on a farm.
