Our cows.

What to say what to say. Cow are cows- there's not a whole lot of stuff to write about cows.  Well, Halle (short for Hallelujah) is our oldest cow and then we have Sandy (she was born during the hurricane Sandy). Sandy is not yet in milk but will be in 2015.  Halle is our milk cow but she is not giving us very much milk (about 1.5 gallons a day). Caleb and I milk her; Caleb in the mornings and I at night.  Halle had Sandy on October 29th, 2012.  She is part Jersey and part Holstein.  She is very nice if you know how to handle her but otherwise you will be quite afraid when she comes to give you a head nudge!  Our fence doesn't really work so sometimes Sandy wants to get out (and does) so the neighbors come over and tell us. Then Caleb and I go gallivanting all over creation trying to catch her then she walks straight through the fence to get back in!

Well here are some pictures.
Halle and Sandy thought we had food for them.

Holly was eating dirt, I guess it was salty.
Sandy was going to give  Eden a head nudge.
