I am very excited!!! :weee We might be getting a milk cow again!!! Not just one, but maybe 3!!!:clap
Yesterday we went to look at a Jersey milk cow that is for sale in our area! I liked her, DH, not so much, as she will need a bit of work! But when we were getting ready to leave, the lady selling her said if we are interested, she would give us a killer deal if we took both her milk cows and the 6 month old Jersy heifer calf ( she will also throw in the rest of her straws of semen from a puebred bull)! :ep For this area this IS a killer deal on Registered Jersey milk cows!!! I am soooo hoping we get them!!! :fl The lady even offered to deliver for free and she will take payments!!!!!
IF we get them :fl, there will be pics to follow!!! :D

I envy you! As a kid, I always visit my grandparents' farm during summer break. Now, those farms are gone :( Someday, I'll have my own farm and herb garden like you do :) Enjoy!

:) hope it works out, milking is a lot of work but I'm sure rewarding. Besides didn't your dh bring home several hogs not too long ago???
