JUST two days into the year, the first baby of 2020 has been born at Greenmeadow Community Farm in Cwmbran.
Pure-bred Highland cow Hazel, who was also born on the farm in 2015, gave birth to a healthy bull calf called Moose at 1pm today.
Two members of the farm team assisted in the birth, ensuring that Moose arrived safely and healthy.

Moose is a Highland cross Welsh Black, and already standing and suckling from his mother, which is vital, as he needs his colostrum to protect him and give him antibodies.
