We had a blind Jersey milk cow in one of the strings when I milked in college; she was in a dry lot and did just fine as long as her environs didn't change too rapidly. Just followed the group into the milk parlor, etc.

That's all good

But I do hope your choice of name was coincidental - I already have a pig named after me

Cheers,
Ronnie
