Why so Wry?

I have posted many pictures of the various cows on my farm all in different shapes, sizes, and colors and this post will be no exception! Today I wanted to make a post about a special jersey cow with a unique feature on our farm and that is her special little crooked nose. If you look closely at the photograph below you can see that it appears as if her nose is twisting to the right, and it is! When a cow has a crooked nose this is called being wry and it can be genetic and passed down. This does not cause her any harm and only adds to her character. She's a pregnant jersey which we brought back to the main farm today when we were moving dry cows and I just had to get a picture of her beautiful face. Who knows, maybe her calf will have a crooked nose just like her mother.

Today we shipped 5,658 gallons of milk and had one new heifer calf born.
