The latest news!
26-2-2018 kalfje jasmijn
Op 26 februari werden we weer verrast met de geboorte van een meisje, van kameel Goldie.
Goldie is al ruim 10 jaar bij ons op de melkerij en is een super goede mama!
Ze heeft een zacht karakter en dat karakter geeft ze ook door aan haar kalfjes.
Dit kalfje hebben we naar een van onze medewerkers Jasmijn vernoemd, die net zo’n zacht karakter heeft.
Jasmijn was echt super blij en trots dat ze eindelijk een kalfje met haar naam had!
23-2-2018 kalfje Arne
Stagiaire Arne heeft geluk. Kameel Robin beviel op 23 februari van een gezonde hengst en dus hebben we hem naar Arne vernoemd!
9-2-2018 kalfje Aggie
Op dit moment hebben we nog 1 stagiaire hier op de melkerij (Arne) en toen kameel Zwartje ging bevallen, was hij er als eerste bij.
Hij heeft de moeder geholpen met het ter wereld brengen van een kleine merrie.
Nu kunnen we een meisje niet naar Arne vernoemen, maar hij koos voor Aggie (afkorting voor Agnes, moeder van Arne)
2-2-2018 kalfje Abraham-Jurgen (A.J.)
Jurgen is DE verzorger van onze kamelen en hij is hier op maandag, woensdag en vrijdag.
Op 2 februari is hij jarig en dit jaar werd hij 50! En precies op deze dag wordt er een hengstje geboren bij kameel Anita!
Uiteraard moest deze kameel iets van de naam Jurgen dragen en dus hebben we hem Abraham-Jurgen genoemd, of kortweg A.J.
