This is a breeder in Kentucky, but the breed is so in danger of dying out that they won't let just anyone have them. They are afraid of not having purebred cows. But if Heiffer or some organization got them....who knows..you can get them for implanted embryos and they are trying to increase the population that way. They aren't as pretty as I thought..I swore I saw some in Kerry but maybe they were something else..

Anyway, the milk is supposed to be excellent. And it sure looks like those children could use some milk..oh I know people are going to go off on milk now..but it is part of our collective history that of the Northern European population at least..in pioneer days when they brought in a cow the children were so much healthier..wouldn't work for everyone who didn't evolve to drink milk...

Homemade butter, cheese, ice cream. People would come out of their way for a Sunday drive..throw in some fiddle music...lots of possibilities here.

So now, we tax the Mountain Dew so no one will drink it hopefully. We have a herd of Kerry cows, goats, pigs, rabbits, turkeys, gooseberries, hazelnuts, pond fish, trout perhaps, apples, pears, cherries, blackberries (I could send them 5 blackberries from Washington and they would take over Kentucky)....sounds mighty tasty to me. Add a few vegetables and they might have to buy some flour and baking powder and that is it. Looks like lots of wood there for making animal pens etc...
