    Default Cow

    My wife wants a pet cow to add to our little homestead. We already have goats. Do any of y’all have both, and do they live together well?

    Got one, he might even could be yours. Goats and cows are fine together.

    Yes, and Yes. One of our cows had a calf but wouldn't have anything to do with him, so we bottle fed him and raised him with a herd of goats. He's not the friendliest around people but him and the goats seem to get along fine. We named him Ribeye though, that could have something to do with his distaste for us.

    A pet cow is fine as long as people know they know they’re for looking at and not scratching them on the belly like a dog. Those are the people that get accidentally whopped by Bessie and end up like Superman.

    Get a mini horse dude.
    Be proactive about improving public waterfowl habitat in South Carolina. It's not going to happen by itself, and our help is needed. We have the potential to winter thousands of waterfowl on public grounds if we fight for it.

    If you want food for a pet get a carrot.

    Cheaper, cost less to feed it and nobody cries when you slice it up an toss it on their plate.

    They'll get along fine but I would recommend a steer for a pet. Cows can be bitches.

    Steers/Bulls are friendlier towards people, but can be "aggressive". Cows are ornery.

    A friend of mines little brother got a cow one year for Christmas. The cow ended up "running away" but the freezer at the cabin became mysteriously slam stocked with steaks and ground beef. There may still be a reward offered with the cows safe return.

    Get yourself a mini-cow. The cleanup is easier and they eat less.

    I hear Jersey's are mean as hell according to a dairy farmer I know. Holstein's don't give a fuck. Great for milk but large. Guernseys produce a fatter milk.

    Was it Sumter Dairy that had a Jersey milk?

    If you just want a pet get a low line angus or a mini breed dexter cow. Or similar miniature breed. Smaller frame cow that’s going to consume less and fit into a small scale farm better.
