We saw a calf that was just weeks old as well as a number of pregnant cows. And- I learned what the difference is between a cow and a heifer. Anyone know? There's nothing quite like being out in the country air surrounded by cattle... As you might (and I should) have expected, we came home smelling like manure but it was all worth it. Note to self for the next time though- shower after instead of before. Yowzers- that scent is not for the faint-hearted.
what's the difference between a heifer and a cow?? My guess - heifer is a female cow . . . not sure why my brain thinks that but it does!
ReplyDeleteYou are right that a heifer is female but cows are too...the difference is a cow has had a calf before but a heifer hasn't. So- we were both heifers last year! ha
