Is this cross would make a good family cow?

Before "I" forget again, I got Bella's blood test results last week Friday regarding to see if she is pregnant or not.



She











is













pregnant!! :celebrate :woot


She is due on August 10th for her 2nd calf. That is a long ways to wait. :( BUT, time flies! :D

I hope that the calf will have the same coloring as the bull that I used. I want a Guernsey color calf!

Thanks everyone!

neener92- Glad that I was able to help push you over to the Guernseys. :p I like them too, want to have a pure one someday....


Kay, time for a picture update on my gals-


Maybelle will be 7 months old in a week!!!! Can't believe how fast time flies! She is in the pasture where the steers are, as I am weaning her. Poor Bella, all by herself in the pen and have the biggest pasture to herself, but she rather be with the others, but the steers are being banned to the wood pasture as they ate my chicken coop. :barnie :he :somad :smack

Pictures taken a few weeks ago.

I have found this picture of Maybelle as a day old calf that I never posted here. She has changed and filled out so much! :ep

I got a green Family Farm & Home cap and cow bell for Christmas from sister #4 as she drew my name.

But she did not think to get a collar to go with the bell.....

So, got one after looking for it at 3 different stores! But I am glad that the collar fits after all that driving!

Pictures taken today. I am weaning the calf, so the calf is in the pasture #1 with the steers, I am still milking Bella. Getting a gallon and a half of milk each day. I am only milking her once a day.
