Mocha the Milk Cow

We officially have a milk cow here on the farm! Mocha is a Brown Swiss Jersey cross.

There is a lot more to having a milk cow than buying a cow and having a fridge full of milk.  But this is step one! This pretty little gal is a young and open (not bred.) We have some time to get things in order prior to twice a day milking. For now, Mocha has taken charge of the rest of the herd and proven quite bossy! In the last week, we also purchased four more Lowline Red Angus Cross Heifers.
