The Gentle Dairy Cow

I love dairy cows. They really almost become pets because they are so used to us humans. Katie is the main milker and herd manager on our farm and she knows the personalities of each and every cow. She will tell you that cows are mischievous and like to see how much they can get away with… knowing that they are in the wrong. And it’s true.

One time we had a cow named Daisy who had horns. Well, she learned to use them to open fence gates. She would start fiddling with the gate latch with her horn until finally it jiggle loose and she would go rushing out to find the nearest patch of green grass that she’d been looking at on the other side of the fence. Of course, all the others saw her open it and would begin the parade out to freedom.

But Katie loves her cows!

Moon was one of our very first dairy cows, and everyone’s favorite.
