my milk cow family

This is J bull about a week ago.  He's been off the rope, free in the new calf pasture since Tuesday, so he was only on the rope for one week.   


This is Chrissy.  She stands well for milking.  Her milk is sweet and she's giving over 2 gallons.  She seems in good / normal spirits, no sign of depression / low energy following the birth of her calf, who was found dead.  Farm partner reported that the calf was well formed, normal looking calf.  It was buried before I saw it, but I believe him.  






This is Trudy's bull calf.  Healthy, spunky little guy.  


Trudy on July 1st.  



Trudy the morning after she had her bull calf.   Today her udder was nice, not too tight.  I took a bit of pressure off.  The rear Left had small amount of curds and that quarter was milked mostly out.  She's robust.
