Nosey Cows

This was just another ordinary day moving dry cows! We drove across town to pick up some cows and first calf heifers that are getting close to calving. Some of the first calf heifers might not come up on the computer which means we will have to observe the size and fullness of their udder. After we made a few trips back to our main facility I noticed that each time a new jersey cow came up to the gate to investigate what we were doing. 

Today we shipped  5,510 gallons of milk and had one new calf.
