Even back when Jim's dad was farming, the nicest cow in the barn was named Mary. She wasn't necessarily the heaviest milker, but definitely had the best personality. Our last Mary hung around until she was eleven years old, and that was a few years ago. There haven't been any stand out personalities until this past week when #399 freshened! She's a beautiful two year old...first calf heifer...and it took only a few days until the name Mary started coming up in conversations.
She hasn't lifted a foot yet while being prepped or while being milked...
Here's to a happy heifer!
