The simple things are definitely what makes life great!

Such an awesome memory! I have made plenty of butter by hand.....so delicious!

Is it true the Guernsey milk is a rich yellow color because they don't digest beta carotene as much? And does Jersey milk have higher b vitamins?

How so?

I wanted a Guernsey originally when I decided which family milk cow I wanted. The problem is there's literally no Guernsey's in this area. The ones I could find were ridiculously priced. Is the milk really rich, yellow, and creamy with the Guernsey?

That's incredible for a Holstein! I agree that goat milk is more digestible. I believe it to be healthier as well. I love my goats!

Thanks everybody!! Soooo....she jumped up again like that today! I had her bucket with some treats in it. I've come to the conclusion that she's like a dog when she's excited, and jumps up on her hind legs a little. This time I said "Daphne NO" in a firm voice. She immediately went back down and...

Thank you so much. I really appreciate the time you took to explain things. I certainly hope she's not in heat, because then she's not pregnant

I agree. I will do that now.

No, I haven't noticed anything else. I haven't really looked either, because I purchased s bred jersey due in two months.

We did keep her in a stall for several days. I have plenty of acreage for her to run around on, but we want her to know where home is. I guess I'm going to have to confirm the pregnancy. She was AI'd by her precious owner, and apparently confirmed pregnant at that point, and later. I suppose...

She's so sweet, and gentle which is why I'm so confused as to what exactly she was doing. The best way to explain it was that she got up on her hind legs. She never kicked out her back legs like she playfully bucking.....just jumped up on those back legs. I was so close to her and she never...

The farmer I purchased them from said they were both bred. It will definitely be hard to not be so lovable with her, but I definitely Italy can if it's going to turn into a dominance issue. I need to be safe about this. What's hard is because it's not straight and cut, and I don't really know if...

I agree. In her defense she hopped up, but never jumped on me. I didn't even move. She just jumped up and back down. It scared me though for sure. I do have a lot of people around here that can help me with safe cattle handling. I have a bunch of Amish dairy farmers, cattle farmers, and friends...

Thanks. I have recorded the date. She's calmed down a lot today, much more than yesterday as far as the bellowing. I'll wait the 18 days and see if this happens again.

I'll be the first to admit I was treating her like a pet dog. I thought loving her would be the best thing to do to build a relationship with her.

I hope she's not in heat. I bought a bred heifer that's suppose to be due June 10th. I'll be pretty disappointed. I'm definitely more alert around her now. She's a very sweet girl, but I'm not taking the chance. She's been bellowing yesterday and today. I thought maybe because I just got her...

Hmm that will be upsetting if she's not bred. She's suppose to be due June 10th. I thought maybe the bellowing was because it's a new phone for her. She's fine when I'm in the barn, not bellowing. I wish I knew if she was trying to mount me, or if she just hopped up out of excitement. So they...

The first impression I got was maybe she was trying to mount me? I'm really unsure what to make of the whole situation. Apparently she is pregnant, and she the first week of June. I purchased her bred, but have not pregnancy checked her yet. I definitely don't want to create a huge problem. I...
