Well, we started advertising a little late this year, but we do have cows for sale! We have the individual prices for each of the cows below. We need to move the cows pretty fast, and at this point we are operating off of a first come first serve basis.
This year was a little more challenging than last year. We calved in one of the wettest springs our area has seen in over 10 years. Since we calve outside, the cows had a harder time transitioning through the cold and the wet. Also, with feed prices being at least $100/ton higher, we were unable to feed the amount of grain that we had been feeding last year.
The cows are currently getting hay and baleage with 8 lbs of grain a day. Please remember that when you look at their milk weights. We need to move the group fast, because we are running out of milk cow feed.
This year I am going to do things differently. The following link will show you this year's lactation records that we have on the cows Current Lactation Information.
Their pictures are in numerical order based on their ID. So, if you see a cow you like, or a cow whose stats you like you can cross reference her between the picture and the list. This will make it easier for me to keep information updated. Also, the cows are numbered in three digit numbers by year. The first digit of the cows' ID is the year they were born (25's first number is 0 so she was born in 2000).
Please e-mail us if you have any questions and we will give you our phone number from there.
Pictures are UP TO DATE: As in I took them today (January 7, 2012). Without further ado, here are the cows:

This is a 12 year old cow, on her 10th lactation. She is a boss cow, queen of the water

husband.
