we found our herd additions. we got two lovely mid mini jersey girls. both are freshened. we got charlotte who is foundation pure and her registered name is riverview mill ck and lottie who is a 50% minature jersey out of riverview john and a standard jersey. this is lottie's first season for being milked but boy does she milk. we will be really curious at what she is going to top out at. last night alone she milked 10 quarts! my wonderful husband is milking all the girls by hand, we have 3 that are milking right now. if anyone is familiar with the song, all i want for christmas is my two front teeth my husband has been singing a similar tune "all i want for christmas is an automated milker." luckily we herdshare and are praying for new clients to come along. the dogs look at me funny now when i pour more milk into their feed bowls. they used to get excited now its like milk again?
the really cool thing this week was when we had the vet out to vacinate and ultrasound everyone. seeing the little babies moving in mommies was the best ever. star should be calving around christmas day, novetta, whom is pregnant with her first should be the beginning of march, lottie and charlotte are due in april. my husband will have 4 to milk then!
novetta is going to make the best mommy. our little carmella felt pretty bad after vacinating and tattoo in her ear. novetta stayed right with her. took her to the barn and laid down with her while the other girls were out grazing. she really looks our for her all the time. we are very impressed with her maternal instincts. as always just another happy time and expierence with our jersey girls.
