With all the trouble we have had getting folks to come over to feed the dog and other animals when we are on vacation, we have come to the realization that regardless of our desire for fresh milk, we just aren't really set up for a milk cow that requires twice daily devotion without fail. If you miss a milking, it can actually harm the animal and we dont want to deal with that...so, I traded Ol' Bessie (our future milk cow) for a 3 year old longhorn cow that is bred to drop a calf here anyday. We loaded Ol' Bessie up on Saturday and took delivery of our new herd queen (she's the queen just cuz she is now our oldest cow) - here she is:
This is a picture of the Bull that is her father (a nice looking animal eh?)
This next one is the bull that sired the calf that we are expecting any day now.
So, we now have an officially all-longhorn herd (except for unkigiashes little Jersey steer who is here on only a temporary basis.) Feelin' kinda Texas now....
