Many thanks Stephanie, I'll give it a try later this evening. Both calves still OK.

Here we go with my first attempt: Cloudberry is the red one and Gooseberry the black one.

Its good to see that I'm not the only one who tie's gates with baler string! That said, I hope all goes well Erica.

Is there anybody that doesn't then Martin?! ???

Erica, many thanks, a pretty pair, hope all goes well with them.
The only snag Martin is, that Dexters are particularly good at untying it!

You mean like this Rutherford?! :D

He wouldn't have been so keen if it was electrified!

If it wasn't for baler string my farm would fall apart!

Thank you all for your kind comments. What would we all do without baler twine!

Twins are both doing well - the little black one appears to have got over her touch of pneumonia and spends happy moments skipping around the pen with the bigger sister. Long may it last. I'll put an updated photo on in a litle while to show (hopefully) how they have grown.

Hi Erica,

Just wondering how are the twins doing - any chance of another photograph? It was fantastic to see the last one, twins are quite unusual and yours being different colours as well makes it more interesting!

Hi Stephanie,

Twins are doing really well - the little black one (Gooseberry)is only interested in Mum so I am supplementing the red one (Cloudberry) to make sure they both have enough milk. They are growing apace and I will take an up to date photo for you so you can see their progress. Trouble is they won't stand still long enough to take one!! Will do this early next week as I am away this weekend.

Picture, as promised, of Minden Cloudberry and Gooseberry aged 3 weeks - standing still for once, with mum Minden Blueberry.

Unless it is where they are standing the black one has done a bit of catching up there!

Lovely picture, nice to see them with their Mum and how well they are doing.
