A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The Banter Hall Look at what I got today.....

.........

They need a good scrubbing and brushing out. I've never had an all white cow(well it's supposed to be white )before. He's gonna be beautiful when he's all cleaned up.



We ended up taking two so they won't be lonely.

AWWWWWWWWWWWWWW, cute ----and nope they won't be lonely, they have each other.

Does the all white cow give only white milk???

Hope not since it's a bull

O their so cute Tam,Hey you have cows again YEAH,these are pets right,are you giving them names?

that's awesome tamara! and what a great picture

aww tamara so cute--now you are all happy again--you have cows.

Nope, not pets. They might not see the winter...if you know what I mean.

We might just start trading hay for cows in the spring and keeping them as long as we can before the extreme snow and cold hits then starting again.

Sounds awful but it's the cycle of life with beef cattle. I'm just glad that we have some again and this way I can look after them myself.

You have to do what you have to do Tam to mke a living,that comes first.

And NO you can not have your mop back, you've been very naughty already.

so precious! and the pic turned out great with the sun setting like that, and the long shadows.

Ohmygoodness, Lynne! You crack me up!!!!

Nice cows, Tam!

Well I just had to ask!!!
Whenever we would go on car trips when we were young, my dad said that the first one to see a brown cow would get chocolate milk! Of course Don and I had to carry that over to our kids and it's a family joke now! Even when we drive up to visit Brian, where we see lots of cows on the way.

Tamara - are they both bulls? Or could there be some little ones in the future?

I went up this morning to check them out, the white one is a female the red and white is a male. I couldn't really check them out last night because they were nervous...now they are fine.

Nope, poor little guy has already been snipped.

ahhhhhhh - so we might get some white milk afterall?

That is so cute! And so sad they are not pets! I'm afraid they would become pets to me and I wouldn't be able to part with them.

You know Shirls, the first time we got them...I couldn't eat any when it was time to 'do them up'. So I've learned not to name them...

You get used to it after awhile.

Yeah, I sure wouldn't be able to name them....then..uh..eat them!!!
I would name the white Little Cloud or Marshmallow....then have to...you know...kill it!!!!! I'd cry and cry!!!!

They are settling in very well. They are getting spoiled already, we give them grain as a treat. Now they go to the grain bowl and bawl.

The farmer that had them could barely feed them the basics...wish we could of taken more.
