Dairy cows will usually come back in all on their own - they'll be looking for relief and need to be milked. This depends on the cows.

My husband got me a Limousin for my birthday. She has horns, and I don't want to remove them. Where can I find the balls to cover the points to protect the other cows? Though John grew up on a family dairy farm (we live there now), we do not farm for profit. We now have a few cows simply as pets who will keep our upper fields free of brush. They live a long life!

We ordered out baby chicks online today and will have both egg layers and meat birds. We have been talking about possible raising a pig or cow for the freezer but I don't know if we have enough space.....only a couple of acres. What do you think? Any wisdom you could share would be greatly appreciated. Best Regards, April Hello,
