On Sunday morning a man stopped and asked to take pictures of our barnyard. Turns out he was a photographer for our local newspaper. I was pretty excited to meet him because we are always commenting on what great farm photos he takes in our area. It was good to be able to tell him in person how much we like his work. Anyway, he took a lot of pictures. He asked if my cow was a heifer and I told him that she was a Jersey milk cow (I didn't want to go into the whole 1st calf heifer thing with him so I told him she was a cow) and I had just finished milking her. We told him our chickens weren't organic but that they were free-range (which was pretty obvious). I knew he was just the photographer and was not actually writing an article but I told him about Joann and suggested that he go out to her area and take some pics of her farm. I told him about the cow web site and that I hoped he would mention my "milk cow" because we (all of us) are trying to get people to keep a family milk cow. So anyway, I was very happy to see that he mentioned the "Jersey milk cow" in the caption of the photo. The cow and calf wanted nothing to do with him and wouldn't come up from the field even for apples. I don't think Buttercup cared for his camera.
I tried copying and pasting the photo but it didn't work. Hopefully you will be able to see the photo on their web site.
