... Is evidently what the herd bull said about Jessy Noelle. She's the only cow in the herd that he didn't settle.
So we bought her! Here she is receiving some love from her new herdmate Cindy Lou.

Usually Cindy Lou is boisterous and pushy, lol, but she really seems to have taken a shine to Jessy. Jess lost her original eartag, so I'm not sure which heifer group she was in, but it's possible they grew up together and long-lost friends have been reunited.  |

Numb said he was sitting down by the creek yesterday watching the ducks when our little black cow, Amy, came up and put her head on his shoulder and tried to stick her tongue in his ear. A few minutes later, he felt a tentative "slurp, slurp" on his other side. It was Jessy. |

Isn't that cute. I love cows & your stories. Always make me smile. Please warn him though about sitting down where the cows are. When i had cows one of my hereford heifers just loved me but when she was in heat she would try to mount me & my horse.

Yes, our backyard cow Marianne is that way! In fact she was culled because she knocked my boss's elderly dad down in the barn. She's a holy terror when she's in heat, but the sweetest, most mild-mannered cow otherwise. Go figure!

Our cow was a real sweetheart til she was in heat. She would try to get me or our horse. She would also mount the bull.
She was a great Mom & would let other calves nurse on her.

Haven't been on here in a little while, but I'm glad the herd is doing well and growing!

Thanks! It would sure help if it would quit raining here, yikes. It was too wet to put a bale out today so we just turned the girls out into a fresh paddock; they will have to forage for their supper. They didn't seem to mind. |
