In this topsy turvy world that we have right now, it's reassuring to know that whatever humans inflict on the planet, nature will quietly and slowly just take it back.

Bit of an anti climax but the Vet confirmed today that the two cows showing a reluctance to calve were as suspected empty. Calving therefore finished here 10 days ago giving us 65 thriving calves from the 69 scanned in calf. 🤷‍♂️ We'll not talk about the scanning results. 🙈

One of my favourite cows. £450 from dingwall mart, now 8 and just had her 5th calf. 550kg when soaking wet, and a great temperament on her. Hopefully will be here for a good few years yet.

Another beautiful morning here. We are getting well through calving and it's great to see the new calves enjoying life!

Good news - grass is growing

More good news - calving is progressing really well

Bad news - calving has progressed so well we are rapidly running out of grass 🙈

Expected to have more cows still in the shed. At some point I might have to admit we calve too early.

Dougal was too idle to walk so hitched a lift in the buggy. He insisted on a selfie and then shat all over the cab. Thanks Dougal!

Fantastically positive #FarmstrongScot social. Some great chat, lots of laughs and a splattering of emotion. Managed to get a bobble hat too to keep the noggin and luggies warm - it's what all the cool kids are wearing!

The farm has been an absolute riot of bird song recently. Set the Merlin app on record yesterday and it picked up this wonderful soul - a first at Edinvale. 🐦

We have been very lucky with the weather so far. Colder and wetter today but that's OK.

As usual calving has had its ups and downs and the last few days have been challenging. But you can't half enjoy the job when you see contented cows and calves

Really chuffed with our beef that was delivered into our butchery this morning. Great fat cover and ideal size for cutting the perfect steak. 100% Grass fed Shorthorn, this will be dry aged for 30 days before sale. Can't wait! #PastureForLife #ScotchBeef #GrassToGob

And there we go! #calving25 has started. I am notorious for predicting the start of calving and being wrong by a factor of weeks. This year though..... bang on!! Well even a stuck clock is right twice a day!

Awesome day spent getting a bit more engaged with the Environment Baslining Project courtesy of Quality Meat Scotland and AHDB. Amazing to be involved with something positive for the industry and looking forward to seeing what information comes out of it

Good to run round the cattle today and have a catch up with Suzie who seemed particularly keep to speak to Tilly and get a clap.
