She is a nice cow. I call her Madeleine or Maddy and she knows her name, although obviously you could change it. She's a  Holstein, average size, a white-on-black cow. Pretty face with a crooked blaze. In good health, she's a little on the fat side. She's had a cou­ple of recent flare-ups of mastitis, very mild, we haven't had to use antibiotics just Udder Comfort to clear it up. (I can dry cow treat her when she leaves the herd, that should take care of it for good.) Her feet aren't the greatest -- she isn't lame right now, and she'll probably be even better when she's not standing on concrete 24/7. I think she's just getting worn out from being milked for so long without a break! She has a nice personality, likes peo­ple, isn't flighty, holds her own in the herd but isn't dominant or pushy or a bully to the other cows. One of the old girls who stands in the back of the holding pen and patiently waits her turn. Just a nice cow. 

Maddy needs a break from standing on concrete 24/7.

 She's in her 3rd lactation now, about 6 year old, and has given 95,000 pounds of milk, something like 11,000 gallons! Truly a mind-boggling amount when you think about it. I think she de­serves a nice retirement. :) Of course, I would like to take her myself, but I al­ready have my 4 girls and gosh, it's hard taking care of them as it is. I don't have any help or any equipment here, it's just me and my pitchfork and wheelbarrow. :)
