Bramleys due date was 26th June, and since then she hasn't given any clues as to birthing - this morning she came and had breakfast as usual with the herd - then at 11.00, Joy saw her waters break and within minutes she had 'un-packed the bag-pipes' to deliver a fabulous female, sired by Van Diemen Qjori of Patou. She appears to be a milk-chocolate brown - weighed-in at 6.02kg she was standing within 20mins, and knew exactly where to find milk, though we had to clear three teats of the plug, and she has drunk regularly. Fortunately she delivered her in the shade of the shelter, as of course it's been fiercely hot. We have called her Elstar, a variety of apple of course.
