Rusty and Calf
Meet Rusty and her heifer calf, she is 1/2 Jersey the calf is 3/4 Jersey.

Rusty is bit of a mystery, she is nursing first her calf, which seems to be doing quite well, almost without aid of an udder. Where it should be there is a small bumb with 4, just right for hand milking, sized teats that seemingly are attached to her stomach.

Sorry for the poor pics, she wasn't he mood.

What age do you think Rusty is? I think she is old.
