Wellie wednesday sessions 5 and 6

Well, another fantastic 2 sessions were had by the Care Farming students.

 We have got the veg plots ready, the polytunnel is up and the first grow bags are in and have produce already growing.

We also had a great session with Richard from Harpers Feeds.  He bought a weigh tape with him, so the students had great fun catching the calves and weighing them.  All the information was recorded in our calf record book, so we can track their progress.  The "ideal" growth of a calf is 0.8kg per week.  Ours were averaging over 1kg per week, which is fantastic.

The usual jobs were done, calf feeding, cleaning out and bedding up too.

Then it was a sad goodbye to our first group, as their 6 week block of sessions was over.
