My farm story - Home sweet home

This is my house, my parents built it 12 years ago for our large family it has heaps of room, I sleep in the Play room so there is room for my friends to stay. I like our pool and our backyard the best and my motorbikes, the farm gives us heaps of room to drive around.

Logan and I used to have a old jeep that we could drive around in and go four wheel driving in it.

My farm story - Annoying Calf

This is a female calf who is a few days old, she is taken off her mum on day two of being alive and feed by calf feeders with the milk in them.

In this photo I am letting her suck my fingers, she thinks it is food.

We keep her in a calf pen so she is kept warm and dry.

My farm story - Silage wagon

This is our silage wagon, we use it for feeding out to the cows, silage is made of grass barley and maze and our cows love it.

We feed out silage all year round on the feed pad as extra food.

We can put over six tonne in it.

My farm story - Newborns

This is a cow that has just given birth,  The calf is only half an hour old because it can't stand up and it is still wet.

The cows have tags in their ears so we can tell them apart.

My farm story - Thomas land

This is one of our paddocks. We have 280  hectares of  land and we have over 1000 cows. We have three milkers who put the cups on and get the cows in for milking twice a day.

Our farm is in Burnham which is in the South Island of NZ.

The people who live on the farm are our contract milkers and my family, my dad and my Mum my five  sisters and me and our dogs, cats dogs and the statue giraffe.
