Having gazed with admiration at the exceptionally fine calves born that year – the older ones were as big as peasants' cows, and Pava's three-month-old calf was as big as a yearling – Levin gave orders to bring a trough of food for them and to put some hay into the racks outside.
Soddisfatto dell’incremento del bestiame, che quell’anno era stato eccezionalmente fecondo, (i vitelli, precoci, erano come vacche da lavoro, la figlia di Pava, di tre mesi appena, sembrava già di un anno), Levin fece portar fuori la mangiatoia e dare il fieno fuori dalle greppie.
