Cow of the Day - Janet!

This is Janet, our Cow of the Day.  Janet, or Otter Morr Magna Janet as she is known to the American Jersey Cattle Association, is 2 years old but has the mien of a much older lady. She likes to meander along at her own pace and disdains being rushed.  In fact, anyone not acquainted with her sweet disposition might be tempted to call her "lazy"!  Heavens no, she is not lazy!  She merely likes to take in her surroundings at great length. After all, one never knows where one might find a tasty morsel to eat!  And Janet does like to eat!  Sometimes, as we are gathering up the girls for milking, we will break off a thin branch with leaves on it to help herd them in.  The leaves make a slight noise as you wave the branch about and it encourages the cows to move a little faster.  Not Janet. She just turns around and takes a bite at the branch, munching the leaves as she stares you in the face, as if to say "Thanks!  I was feeling a bit peckish!"  She is a good milker and very calm and never confrontational.  Whether we are bringing the cows into the barn for milking, or turning them out afterwards, if there is anyone lagging behind, you can be sure it is Janet.

Henceforth, I will be posting the Cow of the Day here and then archiving them in the Cow of the Day page with the previous nominees.  That way they will always stay fresh and ready for viewing without having to fumble through the posts looking for them.
