On the farm

It's my weekend to help on the farm, so it was an early start to go out and milk. It was foggy and cold, but thankfully we didn't have a frost, so it could have been a lot colder.

After breakfast we went and feed out. This mob of cows are our 'springers' - those due to calve in the next week. The grass in this paddock is very lush, and the cows enjoyed their brunch.

After lunch we managed to find half an hour to watch New Zealander Eliza McCartney compete in her pole vaulting event at the olympics. What an awesome young lady she is! She has a very bright future ahead of her, and I'm so pleased she won a bronze medal.
