This is Lonnie. He’s a real farmer. And that’s Londa. She’s a real farmgirl.


These are real cows.

Lonnie: The black ones are Angus. The white ones are Charolais. Some of them are mixed.
Me: Which ones are the ornamental cows? I want an ornamental cow for my meadow.
Lonnie: What?

Mother Cow: There is a disturbance in the force.

Me: Would you like to be my ornamental cow?
Mother Cow: Let’s get out of here.

Mother Cow: HURRY! She’s following!!

Me: Fine. Go. I’ll settle for driving this big macho tractor.

Okay, I can’t really drive a tractor.

Black and White Cow: Stop looking at me. I’m not an ornamental cow, either.

Mother Cow: She’s back. She’s stalking us.

Mother Cow: Get moving!
Me: Fine. Just fine! I like these fluffy Charolais cows better anyway! Look! Two sweet babies!

Me: Do you want to be my ornamental cows? C’mon…. I have sweet hay! I’ll call you Cream Puff and Taffy and I’ll let you dot my meadow.
Lonnie: Cream Puff? Taffy?
Me: Shhhhhh.

They’re thinking about it!
"It was a cold wintry day when I brought my children to live in rural West Virginia. The farmhouse was one hundred years old, there was already snow on the ground, and the heat was sparse-—as was the insulation. The floors weren’t even, either. My then-twelve-year-old son walked in the door and said, “You’ve brought us to this slanted little house to die." Keep reading our story....

"Lamb-y, then whammy! Get some tickets to Miami! Snow is easing, but we're still freezing. It may be spring by the astronomer, but not by the thermometer. Mighty fine, then leonine."

*I* want the two Charlais babies!
Great shots, Suzanne. I especially like the close-up of two aforementioned Charlais calves and the scenic shot of the Angus mum with her calf, the fields and hills in the background. Wonderful! I’m so envious of your “winter.” *SIGH*
BTW, are the cattle being raised for beef? Angus are for beef, that much I know. (Lots of Angus raised for beef in the province of Alberta.) Maybe you can rescue Cream Puff and Taffy before they end up as steaks on a plate….

P.S. Yeah…Who is “54?” Enquiring minds want to know!

I think that you should get a beat up old tractor and put that ornamentally in your field. I think it would be less work. And it would be nicer to you than those stuck up mama cows. They just don’t know what their missin’.

Oh and I wanted to tell you a little of my experience with goats. I have 3 friends who own them and I’ve goat-sat for them, even helped deliver a kid while they were out of town. The goats that are the prettiest and most friendly are the Nubian, which have the long droopy ears. My friends used them for milk. Did you know that goat milk is already homogenized? You can pasteurize it if you want to, but they don’t. Between your goat and sheep, you could make some killer feta cheese!
Good luck with all your animal shopping!

The kiss was surprising, to say the least.
54, by the way, could possibly be my sister, although I grew up with several people.

Great pics. Gotta love a John Deere tractor. Ahem, I live in the country so I like tractors. Hee hee.

Since you don’t plan to eat them, I think you should get the Charlais babies. They are too cute!

Uncle then reminded me that i’d need a bull for the baby part. I’m not having a bull cow. :mrgreen:
Good luck in the search of your ornamental cow.
