Molly, our wonderful Brown Swiss/Jersey milk cow for 19 years, is having trouble. For two days, she has been down. Yesterday, she was able to get up for perhaps 10-15 minutes. Today, she did better, and was up and slowly walking and eating for about 2 hours. In addition to two serving of very nice grain with minerals, she got two apples this afternoon. Molly LOVES apples.
We all hope she will recover and hold on a few more years. But 19 is very old for a cow.
Molly was born a couple months after our Willow Rose. On my birthday, she was about 8 weeks old, and I carried her home in my arms. She has been an important part of our family ever since.
We all love her and wish her the best.
