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. Not knowing anything about cows I am wondering why she has to be killed. Is it because of the false pregnancy? You don't seem happy about it so I take it you are doing it reluctantly. Paul Cost money for feed. Beef is better when young. Chance of another failed insemination greater. This was her second chance at being impregnated. May be better to get another cow. Dairy cows in order to provide milk needs to have a calf. Without calf no milk. Calves that are male become beef. Sucks to be male in the cattle world. Otherwise dairy cows can live for many years with a good life. As I stated earlier. I am new to this cow business also. This is a non garden topic. I will probably let the thread end. -- Enjoy Life... Nad R (Garden in zone 5a Michigan) |
