June, sure she can. She is pretty athletic in fact.
WW, lol, she is fine with it. She is designed well for what she does for a living.
Cathy, She looked so nice this morning and I had the camera at the barn...I am kind of proud of her. Some years ago her grandmother had a calf. I always liked the old cow, Beretta, because she was off a bull from my first registered Holstein, and she was very gentle. The boss didn't like the calf and wanted to sell her. I talked him into giving me the calf for Mother's Day. (Beretta was his cow.) That calf was my old Beausoleil, and all-time favorite. Bama is Beausoleil's baby by a bull we actually owned here at the farm, OCEC Linday Fred-Et, not a fancy bull from some stud. To get a cow I like as much as Bama from home breeding like that is nice. I gave her to Alan because he loves her, but he gave me her this year's heifer calf, a red half-shorty I named Cayenne.
Linda, she may be giving that much. We aren't on test, but she floods the pipeline morning milkings.
Joated, I would love to have a barn full of tough little cows like her.
Jan, lol
Cathy, oh, they are. We had to sell one of the old, good, much loved cows a couple weeks ago to pay the grain bill. It is a terrible hard part of farming on a small scale with animals that you have a personal relationship with...
Jeezum Crow! How's that cow WALK?
ReplyDeleteWell now, that's quite a milker! But being an old lady with heavy old boobies that it hurts to haul around, my sympathies go out to that cow.
ReplyDeleteI don't think 'decent' does justice to that magnificence.

I imagine that when you see something like that you also see $$$$ signs.
ReplyDeleteSeriously?
ReplyDeleteThey are family aren't they? That's lovely :)
ReplyDeleteLisa, lol, she does get impatient to be milked.
