[QUOTE="Double R Ranch, post: 1813188, member: 411"] Actually no. She was shown as a heifer by twin girls for 4H. I bought her just days before she calved her first calf. Have been milking her (calf share) ever since. I don't feed/grain her till after milking. I only have been graining her for this because I am not milking her 2x daily as her calf was keeping up well. So she's just been getting her normal feedings. While I don't wish it took so long for Eleanor and apparently ours I am quite relieved that it's not "over" for this. I feel like every day it gets a little better but I never know if it's just wishful thinking because it's such minor improvements it seems. 😂 I really need this to work out. She's been pretty much a dream to date considering this is her first time with everything from calving to milking to now grafting. I thought about hobbles but I am trying to be patient. Compared to beef cows she's not bad at the kicking, head butting and trampling. She's a pretty mellow gal. Effort is hard to come by for her. 😂 Part of why her taking this long is so surprising.😂 Kicking wench! I think I missed a story! 😂 [/QUOTE]
