It’s probably a bit harsh to call her a culprit as it was hardly her fault but after scanning the females from the field where I found the aborted foetus it turns out to be Bodega, a lovely fawn girl who was pregnant to Richard. Shame it was going to be one of his first. We’re didn’t really need to scan her, you could tell by the way she just stood quietly and let us handle her. Very out of character when she’s pregnant. Incidentally the foetus was a little over 3 months old.

Cornwall has had snow again this morning except us here at Popham, we’ve just had the horrible slushy stuff called sleet. It must be our proximity to the Tamar River or something that means we keep avoiding it.

Big day tomorrow, got the vet coming to do 14 tb tests and vet 3 girls we’ve sold so that will take some sorting out to get them in from the various paddocks. I was relieved when the 3 girls scanned positive yesterday as they were in the same field as Bodega.
