A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The Banter Hall Finally...My cows....

Here are the pics of the cows that a few wanted to see. Now remember our barn is over 140 years old, so there's lots of work to be done in it.

We also do not name our cows because they are not considered pets, don't want 'Susy' in the burger(if you know what I mean). Only the bull gets named, he is kept til sold or traded to another farmer . Just click on each pic to enlarge it.












You can check out 'Farm animals' in my photobucket for a better explanation of the pics.

Wow, Tamara! How many do you have?

Want me to name them for you so you don't feel like you are eating your family?

Cute, I love how they are just about all looking at the camera!

I get too attached to things, seriously---I LOVE a big cheeseburger, I crave them a lot....but if I had cows I don't think I could eat them anymore, softy that I am(cries when a fish dies).......it's good that you don't name them and get attached to them.

Moooooooo....

Not naming them is good. My brothers family tried to raise food animals. The kids made pets out of them and no-one could eat them.

There sure are a lot of dust orbs in those photos when they are enlarged. One that really caught my attention was in the third picture from the bottom...

moo

they are so healthy

Just pulling this back up for Faye to see.

I told her it was in here Tamara ...she hasn't felt great the past few days--toothache....

Hi Tamara, sorry I did'nt get to the cows straight away, I've had really bad toothache, in bed all day yesterday, I was misrable, its not to bad today, took some strong Ibeprophen? and its helped a little bit, going to the Dentist on Monday thankgoodness.

Loved your cows, it looks like there posing for the camara, I bet thats a lot off hard work keeping them stalls cleaned out. Dont you get lonely, it looks like your out there in the wilderness.
