The Vet that lives down the street came and seen Bessy my first cow
ever.
He said that "Bessy had a false pregnancy". She looked pregnant and got
rely huge but no calf. I have heard this happens with humans also.

So Bessy has a date with a butcher. I do not know if will get another
dairy
cow.
No fresh milk and cheese this year and I was looking forward to it
However... I will have lots of beef in the freezer.

I'm sorry to hear that Bessie didn't work out. Dairy cows aren't
supposed
to make good beef so I'd be interested to hear a report on the product
once
you get aroudn to eating some of it.


Black angus is better. Perhaps hamburger for her. However, I imagine a lot
of beef on the market are from much older dairy cows. Bessy is less than
three years old. Does not age make the biggest difference than type?


No. Dairy cattle are not sought after for quality meat - they are low end
meat ie, burger meat.


Burgers it is... Fire up the grill.
