Catch me if you can

A morning trip to the kraal where a cow and her calf had been kept in after all the others were let out as she has a poorly calf in need of some TLC.  All very well and good, but the cow is hardly going to let anyone near her calf in a rush.  Plenty of shouting, running and a bit of luck ensued to catch the little one and administer required medicines, including tea - the tannins in the tea help upset tummies.  5 minutes later, and out the cow and calf trot for a happy day foraging before back to the pen for the night. 

The other calfs are brand spanking new, having been born over night, they are kept in as their mothers have a habit of trying to hide their babies to look after them, a very good idea, but the leopard and hyena are quite adept at finding them.
