Our new adventure has arrived

[Sweetened]

Today, we welcomed the arrival of 14 year old Dexter, Donna, and her week old red heifer calf who we named Star (after the farm she came from). Donna is a HEAVY producer with an udder like a jersey. We are giving her a couple days to settle in before we persue handling her too much. She is highly protective of that baby so is uneasy of her new surroundings. She did take a tongue full of grain from a bucket before deciding she wasnt quite ready and backing off.

This old girl is in gorgeous body condition and im sure has several more good years left in her, and a few great chances for another lovely heifer.

Oh how sweet! I wish I could have a cow but I don't have enough land. Maybe some day...

Congrats! That is quite an udder she has. Can she be hand-milked? Just wondering if all that milk is going to the baby or if she's going to share some with you.
