So here she is. The pictures are poor due to the lighting. I think she looks much worse in person. I swear the camera adds 200 lbs. You can see she is making very little milk. No matter how I load the pictures they come out sideways????

Thanks all. I will post a picture or two this evening after I move them. I'm not sure what her teeth look like. I should have checked when I had her in the squeeze. I have never mouthed a cow before. I was off on my dates, her calf is 5 weeks old, not 2 months. He is a tiny little thing...

So, I bought another group of middle-aged bred cows that were all pretty thin. One was obviously older, thinner, and heavy bred. I added them to my existing herd and they all fattened right up with the exception of this one old gal. She dropped a calf within the first few weeks before I had a...

This is my first year in this crazy business. Last rain was over 4 months ago. Zero in the forecast. How the heck are you to raise anything when it doesn't rain for 1/3 of the year? Very frustrated so I thought I would vent to y'all. BTW, I expect very little sympathy from those who have...
