Granny's gone and done it again

OH GOD NO about the same amount of time. the cows need the nutrition for themselves and the new calf growing inside. Remember with most rancher's and "open cow" (not preggers) get sold at market.

But dont we milk them for a long time ?

yes and BUT that is the "dairy" type of cattle which have been selective bred for milk production both amount and length , Remember most dairy cows have their calves taken at birth or soon there after.

I have always pulled the calves off their mom's when brother is up here in OCT pheasant hunting and I have another "healthy" body to help move/load the calves into the trailer.

Will he go w/ you to pick up the new cows ?

When my iron is low and I see a cow in the pasture my first thought is LUNCH but that would make you sick right ? It has to be aged ?
