Denise emailed a photo of one of her great cow paintings. This one was commissioned
from the American Jersey Association to use for fundraising, and it was shown at

quite lovely!

Ann emailed and said she wanted to share some pictures of her son Jake. "He has been
showing dairy cows in 4-H since he was 10, and loves each one he shows..."
Hey, what are you looking at?
Gimme a kiss!
Two buddies
Larry emailed a picture of one of his paintings. He writes, "I go to the World Dairy Expo
in Madison, Wisconsin every year with my art booth. One day a guy brought me a photo
of his cow doing what you see. There are kiosks with the face of the Holstein all over
the park. The cow he was showing did this twice. The farmer said: "I think this would
make a good painting". He was right, I couldn't resist."

Jon emailed in a photo, and explains, "Thought I'd send in a photo of "Organsdale
Bedouin", or "Bedouin the B******d" as I nicknamed him. From the day I took
delivery of him on the farm I never managed to soften him up. I was well known
in the locale for being a "Cow Whisperer", and could usually work my charms
on most cows and bulls, but not him. He just hated everyone and yet was a great
hit with all the girls [as you can see]! I think he had been mistreated
before I got him which is a real shame. How I hate guys that have to beat on
bulls, they're such cowards & there's no need for it! As you can see he's a
"Brown Swiss" and I had two of his lovely soft daughters and some cross-breeds to
care for on the farm also. They were as soft as he was a b*****d!"

Anthony sent in this picture of Pono, who is a rescue bovine. You can find out more

Pat (who also has 2 photos shown below), emailed another picture, this one from the
1950s. Pat writes, "It was taken at my mother's family farm at Rongotea in the Manawatu
district of New Zealand. The Jersey cow with me is Mary, who was my favourite. As you
can see, she was very tame. She had several calves but I think she eventually died of
mastitis. When I was about thirteen I was given twin Milking Shorthorn calves, who
I named Rowan and Scarlett, the latter after the heroine of 'Gone with the Wind'.
They grew up and joined the milking herd and over the years my aunt and uncle would
point out their various daughters and granddaughters, who grew less and less like them
as they were mostly mated with Jersey bulls. I have always loved cows, as my father died
unexpectedly when I was not quite fourteen, and I used to wander over the farm and put
my arms around those cows that were tame enough to stand still when I approached them.
They were warm, cuddly and motherly, and somehow gave me comfort."
Pat and Mary
Jon wrote in and says, "I have worked for over 30
years with these lovely creatures and have never grown tired of their company...
I have often been accused of turning them soft by various people. As far
as I'm concerned, if you can walk up to a cow and touch her without
her running away, you can check her for any problems without the hassle
of having to confine her. If you care for your cows, they WILL
respond and repay the time invested." He sent a picture of Maddog, so named because
she'll try and butt and play with him.
Maddog is Playful
Pat sent a couple of photos. She says that Hetty the Hereford lives near Hawera,
New Zealand, and is expecting a happy event before long. And she adds that the life of a
breeding Hereford cow on a Taranaki, New Zealand farm is a happy one ... fresh air,
sunshine and plenty of grass to eat!
Hetty
Where's the grass to eat?
"Cowsnclay" emailed these three photos...
Okay, who knocked down the gate?

Kentucky on my farm to treat a bull with an infected hoof:

John wrote and said he and his family live in Florida, and behind their house is a farm

(He added that they saw a baby calf being born... how exciting!)
