What you can expect from the cow strain
Added 2025-05-13 05:18:16 +0000 UTC"Trying to get a handle on what you can expect in this business? You're in luck, here we have four of 'em who are pretty well representative of before-and-after, and a few variations in between. They've all signed on as milk producers...they're not always the most enthusiastic, especially when they're in the midst of the long, slow transformation toward a more bovine body, but they eventually come around. It's not such a bad gig, we take good care of 'em, and they get lots of leisure time.
So, your girls might end up with two or four teats on the udder. Something about this strain, sometimes it sees the top pair as existing teats and only makes two down below, sometimes not. They produce about the same either way. Priscilla there, third in line, she's about as fine a specimen as you could hope to see, great holstein pattern, filled out nicely.
I'm sure you'll have plenty of other questions as you get your farm started...I've always believed in fair competition and sharing info, so you just let me know how I can help!"
