In an earlier post, I had mentioned that our cow was already to give
birth to a calf. Well, it did, thankfully in the morning at 8.30,
yesterday (22nd May} My son has named her Ramani because he said he was
reading about Ramana Maharshi. Cows and calves have names from Hindu
texts usually in our country. An ex- minister in our state names his
cows after local film actresses, lol. Anyway, I am posting a picture
taken today. I had taken another one with its mother cow but did not lad
properly. I will also add pictures of the plants and trees later. We do
not have a proper camera and use the mobile camera. I hope we will be
able to buy one so that we can take pictures properly. I also plan on
buying a goat so that it can eat all the grass here. Goats love the
local grass that grows here, its called 'Thottavadi' - Scientific name :
Mimosa pudica This grass is not relished by our cows. We had three
grown cows but one got so unruly and would make my husband run after it
throughout the farm, almost every day, that he sold it. Now +Ramani is the new addition.
