Black and white, black and white, all over our barn it is just black and white cows, but then you get to one of two milking Red Holsteins, Lexi! Lexi is this weeks featured cow of the week! Her full name is Gordies Advent Lexi. Lexi lives on the farm where I milk. Her owners are Ray and Cindy Deutsch. She used to live on a neighboring farm, but they were selling their cows and Cindy couldn't let this beautiful cow go to another farm, so she bought her in August of this year. In September, Cindy bred her to Satchel, a red bull.

On May 22, exactly a week ago, Lexi had a beautiful heifer (a young female), she was named Fireside. Her full name is CinRay Satchel Fireside. Fireside is now the fourth Red Holstein in the herd.

Lexi is not just a pretty face, she works hard too! She milks about 80 pounds of milk, every single day (with a two month vacation before she has her calf.) When she is not milking, she enjoys eating TMR (total mixed ration, which has all the nutrients she needs and tastes good too,) napping in the barn at night and also outside during the day, she likes drinking lots of water and hanging out with her friends.
