A couple weeks ago I talked about my oldest cow, 22 years old suprising me with another calf, finally figured out how to post a picture of the old girl.

We have named our Holstein dairy bulls Fred for the last 40+ years.

35+ years ago when my grandfather still kept a bull, we'd get sent to the house occasionally at the end of milking while Dad and Gramp "let the bull out for exercise". It wasn't until we no longer kept bulls that we figured out just what the "exercise" consisted of and why the bull seemed to look forward to it! I can still remember one bull in particular--a big, nearly pure white Holstein we named (for reasons long forgotten) "Dill Pickle".

So long as she keeps dropping a calf she is as good as any other cow and might as well keep her.
How are her teeth ?

She still eats well and feeds the calf, I assume her teeth are good, we feed mostly grass hay and I am pretty careful to give her the bales that are not from the sand country. Don't know if that helps but she seems happy enough. She will live her life out here on the hill. This time of year she gets a little ground feed with some molasses, that really makes her kick up her heels.

My granddad bought bulls from a guy named John for years. Every bull we got from him was named some form of John. We had Papa John, Big John, One eye John (Never knew what he poked it with) Little John, and Bad John (didn't stay here long!!) Was fun for granddad to come up with new John names.

Twice as good as me, I can't get 1 picture on here. I had a bull that stood up vertical in the race obviously knew he was on the way for the chop. Used to met him head on with the Fordson, he always piked it.The safest way I knew to muster.When I walked by, on the opposite side of the fence, he always snorted at me.

Back in 95 when dad went into the nursing home, my cousin had taken care of his cattle for about a year I was living in eastern Iowa at the time, I found the papers for most of the cows. The oldest cow was 18 years old and had one of the best looking calfs at her side when I sold her at the sale barn and her and the calf brought the highest price of all the cow calf pairs that day.
