[QUOTE="creekdrive, post: 1349944, member: 21216"] Kind of dreary & wet out today, so thought I would share some pictures from the past few days. Don't know what I did to my camera settings but these all have a yellow hue to them :mad: :mad: [img]http://i1298.photobucket.com/albums/ag51/creekdrive/IMG_0659sm_zpsvlx2e1p8.jpg[/img] 17 yr old cow - still doing great. She doesn't move as quick as she once did, and her bag is starting to sag a little more than it used to. Last year I was convinced she was only milking on 2 quarters (still weaned a good calf), but this year her bag is definitely full and working on all 4 sides. The grass this year compared to last is a lot better too, which may have something to do with it? We were thinking we would sell her this fall, but I don't know anymore, prices aren't very good and it's not like she owes us any $$$ - she might get to stick around another year. I'd like to see if she could hit 20. [img]http://i1298.photobucket.com/albums/ag51/creekdrive/IMG_0655sm_zpsxgwl3kbn.jpg[/img] here's her heifer calf this year. This one will be retained for sure.
