Eva's Second Calving Date Competition, 2012
Eva successfully calved on the night of Friday, 5 October, at 10:35 pm, a daughter!
Congratulations to me for getting the date right, but the guessed time entered by Suzi was actually closer.
Since I can't really award myself the unspecified prize, I'll bend the rules and turn this into the calving time competition and thus Suzi wins!
Eva's calf on 6 October.
From a suggested prize selection including a weekend for two on the farm, a subscription to New Zealand Lifestyle Block Magazine, a framed picture of her favourite Diggers Valley Cow, a dessicated weasel or a bag of possum fur (all these originating in my own exhausted brain), Suzi has elected to accept the offer of a weekend on the farm.
