[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 665722, member: 9096"] well, the cows are all out on pasture now, shipped 3 cows and buried one because of being either too late or open... the one we buried was 19 years old, we figure she could stay one the farm... the rest of them are doing well.. Paco, the one born on easter shown above, wow is he growing, he's not yet 8 weeks old and I would guess he's between 275 and 300 lbs, I've been milking his mother as well, and she's good about it, I get a quart from a quarter, she has about 8% cream, so if you figure the calf sucks 6 times a day, he darned well gets nearly 6 gallons of milk a day, which is more than our Guernsey cow gave us... the rest of them are all growing well except for one, who is from a heifer which may have a short lifespan on our place if her calf next year isn't any better, Maddy (2R, the 'chairman of the board' as someone said, roan heifer) is a total suck, I have her halter broken, and she was eating grass around the house for the last month, I'll try and take some pictures as they are worth a thousand words and I'm getting tired of typing!
