This morning these two ladies began their sixty day vacation. We call this the dry period, and they will not be milked until after they calve.
In the meantime, they will receive extra pampering. We will move them to a smaller group when they are a week or so from calving. This will allow us to monitor them more closely.
I want a two month vacation! Oh, but I guess that means I’d have to be pregnant … and with a calf. Maybe not.

I’d love to have one, too! Some farms will actually organize it so that all of their cows are pregnant at the same time and they use that time for harvest or vacation.
