[QUOTE="Warren Allison, post: 1829251, member: 40587"] Ok, that's what I was afraid of. We gotta come up with a plan by February. That half Hereford cow was milked and raised an extra calf by the people we got her from, so I am hoping this goes with her like Gail's new calf adventure did. And those 2 heifers may do ok as well. They are dead-broke gentle. They raised them on a bottle, and used them in a petting zoo like thing until he got killed on the bike. I even thought we might put both of their calves on one of them, and just use the other for Mattie's milk cow. Scott said today, it was 70 down there and clear weather, so Mattie told Zeke she was gonna show him how to milk a cow. She had Zeke go get Gail, and lead her back to the house. The calves just followed her. She had Zeke lead Gail up on the porch!! Had him position her close to the edge, so she could stand up to milk! Then she told Zeke to come down there with her so she could show him what to do. He just dropped the lead rope and jumped down beside Mattie. Scott said he walked up and held the rope from the ground, but no need to. Gail just stood there with her eyes half closed...about to go to sleep! Mattie told Scott that Zeke got the hang of it quick, and did just fine. Scott tried it and she told him he did great, too! :) The chances of the other 3 being as easy as Gail are slim to none, but who knows? We may luck up! I told Scott that even[I] if[/I] they all 4 worked out, let's still not get any more, and he agreed. [/QUOTE]
