Cows
We took possession of the five cows the other day. Neighbor lead them from his property across the road to our property.
They are settling in nicely and seem to like their new home, although they do seem to stand at times and look longingly back across the road to their old home.
We brainstormed the other night and came up with 11 new girl names. We went for an "e" sounding end to all the names. A few of the names are the same as family and friends, so don't be offended if yours appears in the list. We've used them lovingly. I don't know if we'll ever actually call them by their names, but at least we can if we can remember who's who. Maybe one day we'll get cute collars with their names on them.
Technically, we have 5 cows and 6 heifers. Guv'nor took photos of each one for me.

Cute....so, um....as a city girl I'm curious....what do you plan to do with all these cows that you've named (obviously not raising them for beef)? Will you be milking them?
ReplyDeleteInitially the cows will be mowing and fertilizing the pastures in an effort to improve the grasses. When additional ones are born in the future they may be considered for harvesting. Red Angus isn't usually a milking breed.
