Adding to my herd just have not decided yet what breed or if I'll just go commercial, which means in cattle biz "Mutt".
Also hope to have my own milk by next spring as I am a bit impatient. Buying 10 Nubian does and a mixed group of 6 others and 2 Jersey Cows simply because I always wanted one and have the income to do it so why the bleep not. "Thats what I'll say to my father who will be disgusted with my descision, lol." He's living through me as a farmer.
I think one Jersey may be a Staven, :lol:.
:duc

I doubt it. Considering she is an L.A. girl she would likely figure you naming a cow after me was making a pass. :lol:

Sad that a morning with an 8 month old wears me out. Off to pick up some animals.

Yes, I turn to goo around her.
Betsy and Buttercup are beautiful lady cows. Buttercup still has a calf that I have now but its a little steer and I won't be naming him as we all know where he's going. So Butter is the only one milking and it tastes good. She stands so good, it reminded me of my grandpa's dairy cows. Betsy is pregnant though and will most likely birth in early spring to a full blooded jersey.
Betsy has the classic dark face and a darker body, while Buttercup is a nice creamy light brown with touches of white on her sides. Buttercup is right around 8 years old and VERY cool. Betsy is 4 and little more energetic and is enjoying exploring her new pen.
The previous owner also sold me a portable milker, which is a WONDERFUL invention.
