I let the youngster stay up past his bed time. He fell asleep on my stomach and started snoring in a deep sleep. Then he started howling like a wolf. I woke him up while he wss still howling and put him to bed. I don't know what we was dreaming about, but I don't want no wolf sleeping on my stomach.

I'm thinking about getting FB a milk cow. I Just don't know what kind yet. I thought a dexter would be good but FB doesn't like the horns. It must be gentle and not produce a ton of milk every day.

You want a goat 🐐. Lol. Can't remember if you still have intact males in your beef herd. That could be an issue, too.

Horns can be removed. My grandparents had a small dairy farm. Been decades since I milked a cow, I don't miss it at all.

My advice, find a local to barter with. You can get milk in the quantity you want at the time you want

Memories from 2016, BJ’s first time in Buc-ees.

We clowned around with a silly pair of boxer shorts.

And yes, after wearing them around in the store, and getting some funny looks, we bought them.

Good times. 💔

@CrealCritter I want a milk cow but simply to make butter....otherwise my goats provide excellent milk in quantities I can use. The Saanen girls give 1-2 gal a day of excellent milk. Goats like a friend, herd animals & goats have an escape personality. Honestly, my milking Saanens have the least tendencies of that penchant. BUT -- that orchard is history if they get loose!!! Plus rebreeding considerations are there.

Dexters are nice, I've heard. Yeah -- @farmerjan help them out here. At least you have a bull on site for re calving. 😉
