I'll admit it. The cows are my FAVORITE animal here on our small farm. They do however have rankest breath of all...maybe because their at nose level ;)I love almost everything about them including their sand paper tongues, warm fuzzy cheeks, moist nose & mouth, and the curls on top their heads.
Sir Loin is the first large livestock I ever handled & owned. I have enjoyed working with him, learning how to deal with such a large animal. He has taught me many lessons as I have taught him a few. I will miss him more than any chicken, rabbit, duck, or pig we've ever owned. Someday I'll have me have a dairy cow! One that I can bond with and tend throughout the years.

I know how bad a "cud burp" from the goats smell! I would love to have a dairy cow too someday. Not sure what we would do with that much milk but I would still like to have one.
Yes, you need a dairy cow!
She will pay for herself many times over. Mine raises at least three calves a year (counting her own) and gives us all the milk we need.
I just milk her three times a week.
And she will stay with you a long, long time, unlike the Sir Loins!
Of course, we need those too. I just don't name them.
My little goat farmers have now set up a subtle campaign for a dairy cow. I don't know how we can fit another creature onto this little plot. Maybe if I mention the bad breath...?
Happy Thanksgiving from just down the road...
So handsome!
