Life On Our Farm

An Unexpected Arrival!

21/3/2014

We thought that Sally, Dangs’ mother, was just putting on healthy weight as with the rest of our small herd…but it wasn’t until I was awoken at 2.00 am the night before last by loud bellowing and rushed to the cow shed on the bike that I realized that Sally was, in fact, in labour!

So I called Liam (who takes care of the cows, buffaloes and horses for us) and he rushed to the farm from the village and between us we safely delivered a very healthy baby heifer. He’s a boy and so he will be able to stay with us for a year, or a little more, and then we can find him a good home for breeding.

We never realised that Sally was pregnant which must have happened when she strolled off to the village that day and got infatuated by one of Liams' own cows!

Nouy, one of the girl buffaloes, is particularly protective of the new calf and we think it’s probably her maternal instinct!

P.s. The snaps were taken in the late afternoon of that morning!

Dear Keiji & Ros, thank you very much. No doubt Sally will be delighted you remember her! She's doing well. This is her 8th Calf in 9 years! Whata girl! Take care and all the best from Ae.

Hi Riliana! Thank you for your comment and I so happy you look at the web-site. The baby cow is getting bigger every day and is so cute! Hero misses you and he is getting big into a strong dog now but still chewing everything!! I'll send some snaps soon.
Take care Rilana and thanks again for the blog! Best wish from Ae.

Map Of Thung Dong Farm

Here’s a map of the farm situated in a valley surrounded by National Park and jungle-clad mountains. Zoom in on the satellite-view to see the farm in more detail; the house and out-buildings, the lakes, the rivers and our own valley that winds its’ way through the jungle.
