Show me your idea of the perfect cow

[Twisted]

I've had ranches and cattle in two states... actually cattle in three.

I've had cows in 3 counties, got rid of most of them once I got them rounded back up.

Any more I want my cows where I can see them from the house..

Really liking this one. First photo just calved, second at almost one month after calving. Went back in heat at exactly one month after calving. Fingers crossed she held. Held on first service for both first calves. Unfortunatelly had aborted her second and then had issues getting back in calf. Got her only after synch, but she seems to be back to business again. Plenty of milk, great character, good calver and fertility should be back again.



Her first calf is left as replacement and will be AI'ed soon.

Two year old with 140 day old calf. Not saying she's the perfect cow but if she can do this or better 10 more times she would be a candidate for perfect cow in my books.

My Hereford cow and her calf look similar to yours. My neighbor's Highland bull bred Rosa when she was just 9 months. Her pregnancy and delivery were uneventful. I was worried and lucky. Keeping the calf and her together until the calf is weaned. Then I need to get Baby to a place where her daddy can't get to her. This was my first calving experience.
