Hiding in grass.
New calves can be masters of disappearance.

It’s a busy time of the year at Montrose Dairy, like most dairy farms in our district it’s calving season. I haven’t had much time for blogging of late, I’ve been flat out looking after our stock. 

We are enduring our second wet winter in a row. Whilst we have ample fodder on hand, at times it is very difficult finding suitable places to feed out hay. Years of tree planting means we have plenty of shelter around the farm to provide windbreaks.
