Tomball,Texas | This cow is the matriarch of my herd,believe it or not she's 1/2 Holstein born in 1992.My mother bought a straw of semen out of a Brahma and dad bred a Holstein cow with it and she was born.She didn't fit in too well with the milk cows and by her third calf my brother that milks and really tends the cows was tired of her being in his way and put her and her calf on the trailer with some culls I was hauling to the sale barn(against moms wishes).
I kept her and her calf in the trailer and brought them back home and bought the pair for $700.She stayed in our woods pasture with the dry cows a few years then in some pasture that my grandpa owned,had a calf about every year with no problems.A few years ago my wife and I bought a place and I moved my cows there,she didn't have a calf last year but was still healthy and bred back this year.
She had a heifer,hope it's half as good as she is.
