This weeks featured cow of the week is Sugar Bell. Her story is also a unique one on the farm. She was originally a cow on Cindy and Ray's daughter's farm, but for right now, Katie gave Sugar Bell to her mom and dad. She showed up as a dry cow (a cow that is not milking because she is on her two month break between lactations,) with a bell on her neck, hence her name Sugar Bell.

Sugar Bell had a calf on June 18th, a beautiful little bull calf, who Cindy is thinking about keeping for the herd bull (a bull who we keep on the farm to breed the cows that we cannot with AI, I will go more in depth about herd bulls next week.)
I now get the opportunity to milk her everyday. She is a very nice cow, enjoys a good petting, and she even can be led on a halter. Soon you will be able to see more pictures of her because Sugar Bell will be the cow I will take a picture with for my top 12 Princess Kay of the Milky Way article in the Agrinews.
