had such a grand time. Spent the day meeting a lovely lady and all her bovine girls. (*she milks about 30 reg. jerseys) It was SO HARD to pick. I finally decided on a 2 year old (we THINK she may be carrying a calf. she has a bit of a bag beginning. there isn't a bull at the dairy-all AI- BUT... a few months ago the neighbor's moved their Angus bull to a different pasture to rest him, of course he saw all those lovely jersey girls and came over for a visit. I'm sort of sad it's not a full jersey baby (IF she is bred) but like I was teasing my husband, she has good taste..... no low life bull for her, they paid well over 10grand for the angus bull LOL. If she has a little bull, guess we'll be eating high dollar bugers LOL. Her reg name is Shamrock Earl Cinnamon BUT...we're calling her Sally Goodin' (I know ZIP about jersey pedigrees and such. Sally sire was of course a straw LOL, Generator HL Earl. I read up a bit on him last night. Anyone know anything about him? his daughters? (I still find it odd that semen lasts so long. I THINK he was a bull from the 70's?) Sally appears to have a pretty nicely attached udder and decent length teats. I'll probably have to hand milk her, since I was planning on not building a milking palor until SPRING!! LOL. I'd thought I was going after a young heifer or maybe a yearling. Saw Sally and was a goner hehehe.. She's a sweetie. She is also a nice small cow. Haven't measured her, but her back is barely chest high on me. I fed her in the stanchion last night and this morning. I even sat down on a bucket and pretend milked her. Rubbed her bag. Leaned into her side. She was fine, even seemed to enjoy it. I really feel I've made a good choice for my first honest to goodness family cow!! so excited ;D
here's a couple pics of her (at least I hope so, I'm still bad at pic posting LOL)
