Because cows are much different than goats, I am wondering how you deal with the manure. With goats we get nice little neat 'pellets', not so with a cow! How do you keep the 'mess' down?Linda Foleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16875718412873470143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1948397622243147877.post-5998435438595583592013-10-15T11:08:55.045+11:002013-10-15T11:08:55.045+11:00Just look at all these great postive comments on y...Just look at all these great postive comments on your uplifting journey and leave the haters to their own small world.

Whom-ever commented on the cow's state was obviously very uneducated on cows as they do slim off when lactating and in certain seasons...but the abundance of care you are lavishing on her will have her plumped up in no time at all. Commercial dairy farming is so very unkind to these animals that it is a wonderful thing to see a cow and her calf being cared for so tenderly.

I'm so glad you reposted about your dairy cow. I know she'll have a happy home with you, as would the people who left nasty comments if they bothered to read you blog often and get to know you and your family as I feel I have from reading it. It must be so easy for some people to criticise another's efforts instead of doing it for themselves. Don't let a nasty few ruin it for the rest. Keep up the fantastic job you do on your blog. I'd feel a bit sad if you stopped.

I think it's wonderful that you have done so much research and bought your own cow (and calf!). They are both lovely. Our Jersey cows look a little thin now too, coming out of a dry winter and feeding calves, but it's perfectly normal. I think human mothers can look a bit like this too!! I'm so glad that you're not going to give up blogging. It seems that these things happen to all bloggers every now and then, but it is a tiny minority of people who feel they need to comment negatively on other people's lives.
