Nurse Cow

Here is our new nurse cow. She is a 5 year old Holstien. Was milking 30kg/day on the line. She is a darling around people, but not so sure she likes the calves. We bought her to foster some calves off a few old cows we had. The cull cow price is good right now, and they just weren't milking well enough to raise the calves they had. One was starving hers to death, and the others were just going to be runts in the fall. She seems to be doing the job.

Nice milk wells. If kept off concrete, that Black&White should have several years ahead of her.
