How old do you think my new cow is? Got her from auction for $350!!! Has mastitis in one quarter, I think we've almost gotten rid of it. She kicked like the Dickens the first few times we milked her, Please excuse our horrid milking set up in the picture, my husband built a nice stanchion for her. I would really like your opinions on her age, and how we can get some weight her?bones. Thank you

Once you get her calmed down check her teeth for wear. Google search, cows teeth and age....Of course only check the lower set for wear her uppers are more than likely missing, sorry I couldn't resist.....Topside
