You're sweet for asking! Isabelle is doing very well--she is vey spunky and likes to talk to us. (I love baby moos!) She is still having her bottle twice a day, but we are slowly weaning her. She had a trip to the vet to have her horn buds burned and two extra teats removed--not a good day for little Izzy!

I'll try to get some new pictures of her tomorrow.

why exactly would she need her horn buds burned? and what's the problem with extra teets? :lol:

A milk cow with horns is dangerous, because they could accidently hurt you or another animal. With dairy animals, you are up close and personal with them, and horns are very dangerous.

Extra teats don't absolutely *have* to be removed, but it is better if they are. She had 6 altogether, and the two extras are usually small and pretty much non functional.

It is amazing how much there is to learn about dairy cows! :)
