[QUOTE="Warren Allison, post: 1830217, member: 40587"] So, this run of good luck has me worried....bad. Murphy's Law was written for me. My instincts tells me to quit while I am ahead. I am predicting right now that we gonna have a lot of trouble when those other 3 calve in March. So, Clay took that Milking Shorthorn and her 2 calves down there Saturday. Gail came to the gate when he unloaded them. She greeted the cow, then sniffed and licked her 2 calves. The new cow sniffed and licked Gail's 3. Scott said that the past 2 days, any of the 5 might nurse either of the cows. [USER=25884]@farmerjan[/USER] [USER=39373]@MurraysMutts[/USER] , is this something to be concerned with? We could separate Gail and the other cow with their respective calves if we need to. I think we messed up getting 5 dairy cows. But, for a retired person in good health, that had a few acres and a barn, and nothing else to do, I could see where this could be a profitable hobby. If you had 5 cows like this, and had the time to stagger grafting calves on them, and time to look for beef calves to graft, you could raise maybe 4 a year off of them. 20 calves to sell, and at today's prices, that could gross you $20k in sales each year.
