I lost my best girl, Cricket (Hereford/Jersey cross, 13 years old), in January to a cervical prolapse that wouldn't stay in, and she popped her stitches twice. My heart was broken. At the same time, I'd just sold my two other Angus cross girls because I couldn't get them bred for some reason. Cricket's last calf was stillborn (and a beautiful heifer, of course), so I found myself suddenly cowless for the first time in 16 years. It was a shock to my system, to say the least, especially since I hadn't been planning on not having any cows.
But a very good friend of mine down South had a yearling Jersey cross heifer that she couldn't keep, so we made a deal. She gave me the heifer, and I paid for her shipping up here. And now she's here! My sweet Molly:
She's got a mile of personality, she's fitting in well here, and she's going to make me a great milk cow. I love her!
