Good confirmation is great, perfect type and udder a joy to look at... and if they have the disposition of a witch, totally USELESS....
The old type guernsey was a raw boned coarse looking cow... and many had dispositions of a saint... used for kids to ride on, went to and from pastures down the road when the kids took them out to graze.. many pulled a plow as double duty... bred and calved and lived for years and years.... and today's animal is refined, frail, beautiful "dairyish" and half won't breed, have mediocre dispositions, don't last but a couple lactations.....
Yep, give me a good old fashioned RELIABLE PAL/BUDDY any day....
