Mid MO | Sometimes the ugliest mommas are your best cows. Dad had a heifer born with one ear up and one ear down. Must have laid funny in the womb. Kept her because she was too ugly to sell. She made a whale of a cow and had a good disposition. Ol' Flop lived a mighty long time.
I've got a heifer I kept for a replacement. Her name is Chop, because her ears froze. I wasn't willing to take the dock because she's a good calf otherwise and they're not that short. She comes when called in, probably be my next lead cow. I'll sell an old cow and keep my income steady, but gain youth. Run cows you enjoy. High dollar cows hurt a lot more when you loose one. | |
