She was raised on pasture and is currently getting dry hay and baleage as well as a little bit of grain. We are currently milking her once a day. She is not a pet (yet), but she has a calm, quiet disposition and is amiable when it comes to being milked.
Her number/name is 732. She is an Ayshire/Normande Cross (more Ayshire than Normande). Here is a link if you wish to learn more about Normande Cattle.
Here is her cow page broken down into sections so that it is readable on the blog.
