New born beautiful baby Calf

We are blessed with another female addition to the cows on the farm. This beautiful brown bundle of joy was born on 1st July 2015. Got the news on the phone but could not visit immediately. Visited yesterday to see this beautiful one. Still shy and cautious but inquisitive too.

Here are some pictures :








We also harvested a lot of vermicompost (almost 200kg plus). Rich, dark & moist black gold for plants. Though this was over shadowed by the brown beauty above.

Handful of seived vermicompost:
