This morning my wife came home and said get on the phone now as there is a free cow on the noticeboard. I rang and it was agreed they would catch it and bring it over. So todays plans went out the window and I got an old concrete water trough that was broken in 1/2 by kids. I fixed the longer bit and setup it in my ol' goat paddock which is about 5 acres. The cow is a 4 yr old Lowline Angus and originally it was the petting cow at the Adelaide Zoo. I was told she has been fully checked out and passed and has never had any calves. I currently have her in my sheep yards that are overgrown with some good feed and already she is taking feed out of my daughters hands thru the fence.
I checked out the breed and man is this an exclusive breeding breed. The lowline angus doesn't have any dwarf genes and if one looks on the wiki will give a full explanation of the breed.
As we know the local vet pretty well and he is a good friend on the phone today he said you get the semen and I'll come around and do it for the price of Margaret cooking one of her top meals.
Like I say not bad for a freebie.
Cheers Bryan
