Yup, it was the extremely long tongue now.... it have confirmed what I suspected. She is a sucker. Darn cow.
Amber came from a tie stall dairy so I really didn't think I would encounter this but yup.... So all winter she couldn't suck herself being tied up and all but in the summer she can when they were on pasture. Now here she can all she wants. stinker.
I had my suspicions... first some scrapes on her front teat- only 1 teat, then that teat seemed a bit cleaner than the others, then that quarter looked a bit less filled with milk than the others, then machine was always done with that quarter before the others..... all week long. I didn't want to accuse her but SHE IS A BAD GIRL!!!
She refused to come in for milking last night. I had the halter on and she wouldn't budge one foot. AT ALL.... it was wicked hot and we were all cranky, so instead of dragging her bratty rear in and probably getting crankier doing it... I said the heck with it and left her in the pasture.... She was waiting at the gate very full this morning.
We had a storm come in as I was walking to get her so instead of braving the hail and lightning, I waited for a bit. She and Molly went under some trees. As soon as the bad stuff passed I stroll out quietly to get her. What do I see?? The contorted cow sucking HERSELF!!!!!!!
WHAT!
She hears me, stops, looks up and hops to her feet. 3 quarters are very full, 1 is not so full and that teat is pretty darn shiny clean.....
Now where is that darn weaning ring we haven't used in YEARS!!!
I am so ticked off right now..... I want a chainmail udder cover- that can zap any tongue that comes in contact with it..... grrrr......
She did give 4 1/2 gallons this morning, I wonder if she took a half gallon...
3 year old Jersey cow for sale... in milk, due to be bred soon...... has one little bad habit and an extra long tongue...
We call her Amber, her old name was Nibbles, it should be SUCKER!!!!
