I might finally be getting a milk cow!!!!

Now there's simplicity! Why didn't he just do that in the bed of the truck and save hauling the trailer around. Seems they are both at about the same level... just need a ramp to get in and back out.

You guys are all too funny!! I can just picture all those scenarios

Oh! And if anyone has any name ideas that would be AWESOME! I'm one of those people that needs the 'perfect' name. It's been one of my dreams to have a milk cow, but can't think of any good names to kind of mean that. Luna crossed my mind. I don't want anything "common" either. My sheep have Star Wars themed names, and my goats are Marvel.

I bought Luna yesterday!!!!! I can't believe I'm the proud owner of a heifer!!!!!! I've wanted one for so long, and now I actually do! God has blessed me greatly with better paying jobs so that it would even be possible. I'm so thankful!

The lady can't deliver her until sometime in the evening during the week, or afternoon on Saturday/Sunday. I can't wait!!! I wish I had remembered to take pics, but rest assured she'll get lots when she's here

I fell head over heals in love with her when I saw her, she's SO TINY! And her ad picture doesn't do her ANY justice what's so ever, she's way cuter in person and is a lot more black. I hope she comes home soon.

Congrats! On feed, you might want to look into a fodder system. You can make your own. It is basically a grain sprouting system, I think there are threads on BYC on it.

I'm proud to report that Luna just came home about an hour ago!!!

I can post some pictures now too!

Sadly, she somehow got scours between now and when I looked at her Sunday. The lady I got her from did say they just recently put a salt lick out though and that Luna was really going at it. She thinks maybe Luna just drank too much water, does that sound about right? She doesn't look or act sick, she's eating too. I do have some probiotics that I can give her that I got last year for the sheep when they were sick. Any other ideas?

The lady gave me this hater for her since the one I bought was too big. I'm still thinking I may buy her a new one, probably blue or black. I got her a cow halter but the lady said even the special made Dexter halters still tend to not fit them very well. She said this is a wealning horse halter and that they seem to fit better. Also, do you all think I should take her tag out? I'm not going to have so many that it's really needed.
