New Life

The next door hut farmers have been of immeasurable help to me in learning the ropes. Son Christian is out at 5am when we happily (for me) meet in the rounding up exercise. Christian is a pro and his herding dog Wolfie willingly barks my cows along their way, too. They have had two calves born on the alm this week. One’s called Max and the other one is the Other One for the moment – black and white and wobbly on its feet. The coat is soft like a dog’s and its wet pink nose is too big for its head.
