A very mixed day for our latest addition to the Lechwe herd. We had a new calf born and so I went to see it was fit and healthy. Turns out it's a male. Gave him a health check and all is good. One hour later I take a call saying that there is a commotion in the corner of the field. I race down there to discover our little Lechwe calf tangled up in some branches and lying in deep slurry mud caused by the recent rain. Mum was desperately trying to help it but unable to get to it for the branches. I pushed my way through and pulled him from the mud and took him up to the shelter. I dried him off. Covered him in straw and made him warm and comfy. Mum close to hand watching intently. A few hours later I went back to see if he was OK and I am pleased to say he was walking around the enclosure with his mum looking fit and well. A good outcome for a rocky start.
