Real Life. Real Loss.

A tough night on the farm as we check on a cow that’s lost two calves and explore what grieving looks like for them, why we stay with her for a while to check milk and welfare, and the importance of making sure the afterbirth comes away cleanly; Heather’s a bit nervous as she handles an agitated mum, we explain how the fallen stock scheme collects the calves, what that means for herd finances with wasted milk and a lost year, and why colostrum still matters even when things don’t go to plan.
