I just realized how much I DIDN'T know about cows!<br /><br />I'd always wondered about the tags in their ears, but I've never even noticed the taped tails. And I had no idea there was a difference between a cow and a heifer.<br /><br />Okay, I think I know the answer to this one, but...what factors decide how many calves and lactations a cow will have? And...oh dear...what happens to the cow after she's stopped calving?ethelmaepotter!https://www.blogger.com/profile/10626030604752269356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6923347451717626296.post-71655852889577219062010-08-12T21:04:28.651+01:002010-08-12T21:04:28.651+01:00Beautiful photographs - I think holsteins are so p...Beautiful photographs - I think holsteins are so photogenic against a backdrop of lush green grass. cant wait to hearmore about the eggs!freerangegirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14535925508133692539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6923347451717626296.post-15374289744448330522010-08-12T15:45:10.278+01:002010-08-12T15:45:10.278+01:00wow! thanks for sharing the info...glad to know......wow! thanks for sharing the info...glad to know....:)<br /><br />thanks for dropping by...great to be here!<br /><br />Dias Spot<br />www.gregdemcydias.comDhemzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05775515982789825801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6923347451717626296.post-48398735936391927382010-08-12T13:58:18.519+01:002010-08-12T13:58:18.519+01:00"As the average cow in the UK was born before..."As the average cow in the UK was born before 1995, and the UK Holstein population has been improving quickly for at least the last decade, this means that the average cow in the UK will no longer have a positive PTA. In fact only around 40% of milking cows will be positive for PIN."<br /><br />Sorry, but this part is incomprehensible to me! What are positive PTA, and PIN? And if the average cow in the UK was born before 1995, how come they only have four calves??<br /><br />I know, picky picky. LOL!

As a child I loved visits to my father's uncle who owned a dairy farm in southern New York state.
