[QUOTE="milkmaid, post: 123800, member: 852"] Tripod- LOL. It does look that way, doesn't it? Cows and steers have tag #s, but I both tag and name the heifers. (I know, I know, lol.) Haven't come up with anything for that new heifer yet - usually wait until I'm sure they're going to make it. That joint is about the same. It feels like it *might* open and drain, but with the heavy load of antibiotics she's on I don't think it's going to do that. I'd probably have to take her off antibiotics to get it to burst...which I don't really want to do. Prolly end up taking her back to the vets and have him work it over. She's racking up a big vet bill pretty quick. Otherwise she's doing great. Drank her bottle down in a matter of seconds this morning. Those nurse cows...some days I really dislike 311 and the way she's so hard to keep in, but when I look at how well she's raising those four calves - just look at the age and size on that one nursing - I just deal with her quirks. At least she's paying her way. As a side note, I am not posting a sideview of 162 anytime soon. 311 is put together very nicely; comparing 162 with 311 is like comparing a 1904 Ford with a 2006 Cadillac. :lol: 162 has a chronic abcess in one rear hoof, causing her to walk abnormally and she's built up a massive front end. Like I said, not a beautiful animal but that front view hides some of her flaws. Then again, she might end up looking OK after she's been wormed a few times and had her feet trimmed up. Who knows. 162 milks about 3 gallons/day - plenty enough for those two twins and she doesn't eat much. Along those same lines, I'm amazed by how much 311 eats. I give 162 a couple flakes and it lasts her all day. Toss 311 a half-bale and she's done by noon. Then again, 311's producing 6-8 gallons/day so I guess I shouldn't be too surprised. [/QUOTE]
