We're down to milking 4 cows now. Seems to take less time. I have found our calf, Daisy, to be extraordinarily stubborn. She won't lead, even to the pen with the nurse cow. If milk can't get a calf to lead I don't know what will! I have a love hate relationship with her and she regularly makes me lose my temper. Which is actually rather hard to do. So then the situation degrades and we're both mad at each other.
The drought has majorly hurt us for winter grazing. We like to "stock pile" grass for our hay instead of buying hay. Nothing grew well. Too dry. So now we're facing liquidation of our beef herd. Yuck.
