Before & After


This is what our milk cow, Millie, looked like when we first got her. She was very skinny and she had a hard time walking. The dairy down in the valley was selling her cause she had hoof rot and she wasn't getting better. 
Here is Millie after a few months of love and care. Her foot is totally better and she is fat and healthy. We love the gallons of creamy milk we get from her every day. We used to milk her morning and evening, but now we only milk her in the morning. She gives around 2 1/2 - 3 gallons a day.


This is our sweet little calf that we got to raise off of Millie's milk. 

This is him today, all big and fat. Looks like we are going to enjoy some good beef someday soon! It will be sad to see him go. You kinda get attached to them. 
We have really been enjoying monsoons!! We have been pasturing the cows out so they can enjoy it too! :))

  3. Weird, the Sangers blog lists your blog as having a new post called "birds" that was posted 11 hours ago, and when I clicked on the link to go to it, on your blog it says "sorry the page you are looking for in this blog does not exist"!?!? Just thought I would let you know, in case there was a problem that you weren't aware of.
