Jocelyn,

A couple pictures of our cow. We are wondering/hoping she is pregnant. I was off on dates. (lost my notebook) And was sure she'd be due in September. But after thinking about it remembered we got her at thanksgiving last yr. She later (unsure date) went into heat. We had her AI'd. Next month she was again in heat. We AI'd her then (January?) and she has not come into heat again. Now it is November. Her bag is small. Her belly is firm and has been at least a week. Not sure what else to look for short of a test. Any cow people with thoughts on it?

This is Jocelyn.Our wonderful Jersey cow. I loved her when I met her a a dear friends home. She was born on their farm.
I had wanted a dairy cow for yrs. I even sold my sweet goats nearly 1 1/2 ago to buy a dairy cow and never did it. It was a purchase that scared me. One who in their right mind would sell a good Jersey? What kinda problems would I face? Would I waste my $ on a junk cow?
When our friends said we may have to move and get rid of everything. Before I had a chance to think I blurted out "I want the cow!" I still feel like a heel for doing that even though she wasn't offended by it but relieved Jocelyn may be taken care of.
So I told Patrick and the men talked and we now have our cow. A cow that was loved and cared for. And a cow they didnt want to lose. A cow they may one day buy a calf from. A cow that I can call them about whenever and get info on. Or advice. And a cow that reminds me daily of them.
Not to mention all the wonderful milk she gives us. Best milk ever. And I am even trying my hand at cheeses. That is fun! But scary as most of my attempts were fails before.
