Mary, she's adorable. any new one at your farm yet, or is it still early in the year.
you usually get one in march right? How many new ones are expected this year.
Stupid question, do cows give milk even if they haven't had a calf yet?

Mary, another stupid question about the cows, how long do they give milk for.
I mean the baby has to have some right, then do they keep giving, or what.
I lived in Farmingville for about 35 yrs. but they had no farms, so I don't know this stuff.
You're my go to person regarding farm stuff. Hope the baby is cute again.
My partner will get hers on Friday.

Thanks for the positive feedback Karen. Those are quilting bees. Sis (Ladybug on here) gave me the cute blue quilting bee fabric. Very nice,clear picture too. Lynnie they give milk along time and finally slow down. Usually calfs are weaned about 6 months old.Then the cow dries up. Milking cattle have their calves taken away so the milk can be collected and sold.

wow, those coasters are awesome. Mary, I love the fabric you used.
Mine are plain Jane compared to what you did. I need to step it up next month.
Mine are a pretty batik with flowers appliqued to the top.
I can't wait to see what next months theme is. any clues yet?
