FEATURED COW OF THE WEEK: HOT DOG

Hot Dog with Rachel Schroder after receiving Reserve Champion at the regional show when she was just a heifer.

She received 4th place at the state fair our of 40 calves, she milks about 109 pounds per day, and her name is Hot Dog. Hot Dog's registered name is CinRay Toy Story Party Girl, but as a calf she had a wiener belly and the name Hot Dog stuck. She actually responds to her name when called. Hot Dog has been milking for 49 days this lactation (one lactation is the 9 or 10 months that a cow milks, then after she has another calf she starts another lactation.) This is her third lactation and she is expected to produce 27,101 pounds!!

Hot Dog had a heifer calf (a girl) on March 28th of this year. Her name is CinRay Armitage Adell. Adell is being apart of a Genomic Test. A hair sample was taken from her and is being tested to see her value. We rarely do this on the farm, but Adell's mother is such a good cow that Cindy and Ray decided to do it.

Hot Dog also has another daughter named Velvet (CinRay Jetstream Velvet) and she is going to have her first calf soon this year. She was bred to Mayfield, a very popular bull right now.



Hot Dog is a favorite on the farm. She loves a good petting whenever anyone walks by. And you can't miss that almost heart on her forehead, making her even easier to love.
