Calm amid the chaos of calving at Owl FarmTwo thirds of the dairy herd at Owl Farm have calved so far this season. OPINION: Four weeks into calving, there is a quiet calmness draped over Owl Farm in what should typically be the most frenetic time of year. Cows have been calving well as we are 66 per cent done, there is a barn full of replacements and a vat full of milk.
