Welcome to Jemma and FriedaWe went to the monthly Sunday markets, originally to look for some Australorp chickens.
These are a good meat chicken, unlike our Isa-Browns which are great layers, but not a lot of meat on them.
Anyway, there weren't any on sale and so we went to have a look at the cattle and sheep for sale.
And that was in the idea of getting a steer or two to raise for future meat supplies. 'Patch' is booked to see the butcher on 28 November. There is a new chest freezer waiting in the shed for him.
There were quite a few calves for sale, but the others were a bit scrawny looking and so we decided to bid on these two female calves.
'Jemma' is a Jersey/Angus cross (the paler color), while 'Frieda' is a Freisan/Angus cross.
They are about 14 days old and so we're back to a routine of making milk for breakfast and dinner for the next 12 weeks.
