Day 8: Red Week - #9032

Yes, we generally have Holstein cows (the black and white kind), but Holsteins do have a recessive gene for red coat color, so if you breed 2 red cows, or red carrier cows together, you can get Red Holsteins, so we have a few of those.  We also have a few Milking Shorthorn cows.  Let's start "Red Week" with I think Brent's favorite cow.....#9032.
This is what he had to say about her in June on his Facebook page:
"Our cow 9032 named Daisy Dukes was ranked 7th in the Milking Shorthorn breed in April based on her genetic potential for milk and conformation. She is scored 86 point second lactation, had two milk tests over 130 lbs or 15 gallons of milk and is due in September with Mudslinger twin heifer calves. We love our good cows."



Full Name:  GE Po-Cop Famous Daisy Dukes
What we Call Her:  #9032
Age:  4 years, 1 month
# calves/lactations:3/4 (a set of twin heifers you'll meet later this week)
Lifetime Milk Production:  54,742 pounds or 6365 gallons

She milks a lot and has heifer calves - she's makes the "good list" in my book!
