Well, i milked her! i let the calf out to have a drink and gave her some food... I only got a little bit but i made it into cheese, or should i say a cheese curd its about the size of my fingernail. :D
Kind of fuzzy but my camera on my phone isn't very good. I am very proud lol
She is not halter broke and she has a tendency to run through fences if i take the baby away... I could keep him in a double stall that we used to use for mares foaling. She cant get in there (knock on wood) :P He is actually feeding off of 2 cows right now and he is the fastest growing calf i...
LOL!! Milk a Limousin! Ha ha ha, she might be the gentlest cow i have ever laid eyes on but i wouldn't go as far as milking her :lol: i will try and separate them later today and see if he becomes hungry enough.
I would but he wont eat anything except grass and milk, he turns his nose up at and kind of feed! even if i pour molasses on it!:barnie he is a very strange calf :/
I am training a bull calf for 4-H but its not going very well. He doesn't respect me at all, he is the only calf in the herd and i am his play buddy and he doesn't take me seriously. When i tie him up he is fine and doesn't even move from the spot. he was like that from the day he was born, he...

@WildRoseBeef- Thanks for doing that with the pics, again :D also thanks for saying that about her, i like her too, and to pull it off, she has the sweetest temperment :P
That is really too bad about the heifer :( , i was looking forward to a calf from her this year, but i guess i have the other...
Here is our other, definatly in calf cow, she is a 5 year old Pure bred Limousin :D
She has had 2 bull calves so i hope that third time is a charm and we get a heifer from her this year :P
i have to admit the picture does not do her mini udder justice, underneath her fuzzy down there there is a smallish bag and her teats are perfect, i guess it was just the way that i took the pic. :) but she does not have a lot of fat on her, she just has a VERY thick coat all year long! i feel...
Here are 2 pics of her this morning:
Finally! i never thought that she was going to get an udder! :D She must have gotten a lot bigger recently, i have never been able to see it in her fuzzyness :clap
@WildRoseBeef
oh, oops, i thought that all limousin cows are like mine, and yes my parents say they sell the ones that are a little more mean and breed the nice ones, they say that they are trying to breed out the bad characteristics as well as getting a great looking cow (my parents explain...
Hi, i have a 22 month-old limousin heifer that had been in with a bull ever since she was born (not related to each other at all), we sold the bull in October (2011) and he had defiantly got our other cow pregnant. (we only have 2 right now) she hasn't shown any signs of estrus for a long while...
i have to disagree with some of that, my parents raise Limousin cows and they are the sweetest things in the world, but that could just be our herd. (they have no training on them at all, they just come up to you right away when they are little and decide that they can stand you being around...
