Today I came to a meeting of the minds with a fellow up in Tennessee for a Guernsey milk cow. What's more, she is halter broken and is in her "first milk."
When I originally starting searching for a Guernsey, I had envisioned a barely weaned heifer that we would raise as a family pet. Getting one at that age would give me time to learn about keeping a milk cow while the heifer took time to become a milk cow. Now, I am about to go from having never milked a cow in my life to owning a milk cow "in milk" which is due to arrive shortly after our tax refund.
So, what advice or resources might any of your recommend for a novice such as I?
