It's a sad start to the month of March on the farm as we remember our Ol' Momma Cow. Although she lived the remainder of her days out on the farm, they were good ones for sure!

We acquired her some years ago through a "two for one" kind of deal. We purchased two decent cows and the old farmer threw her in the mix. Which was better than the alternative... She only gave us one calf before she became too old to calve. Unlike most big beef farms, we keep our cows until nature takes it's course. Mostly because they really are like our pets. We shed a few tears, but remember that this is a part of life on the farm. It's to be expected eventually, although we don't have to like it. Even when we know that they're days are limited, it doesn't make it any easier.
