@JudyEv It could be a normal age thing. Most are not kept that long. Especially if they stop producing calves.

I wonder if they are sort of lymphomas?

This time you are housesitting on a real little farm.

That's true. There are sheep and the two cows, not to mention Qwacka.

I’ve never heard of these kinds. I saw such a tiny cow while driving around today. Probably the smallest baby cow I’ve ever been seen.

Calves can be very cute - just as cute as any other baby animal.

I would guess the one on the left to be the older of the two... You and Vince are getting to see and play with quite the menagerie at this housesit.

The older one has a green label and yes, it's the one on the left.

@JudyEv The way she's carrying herself in the photo reminds me of the way one of our cows carried herself shortly before she passed away. Please watch her closely.

@DaddyEvil We will. The owner has been expecting her to pass away at any time but she keeps going.

Angus are such handsome cattle. My Dad raised polled Herefords.

We had polled Herefords too but then the heifers were having trouble calving (calves had big heads) so in the end he got an Angus bull to put over the heifers.

@RubyHawk They are probably past their use-by date.

Quite informative for me! Interesting what all selective breeding can bring out. Yet the Grandma and Mum make me laugh a bit!!

@JudyEv Send them over to India and after eating what all will be offered to them, they might need even more dieting!

They are not the prettiest of cows. They need to go on a diet.

@JudyEv Stray cattle are too many. Sometimes they block traffic as well. Resources as well as willingness to manage more cows and some Bulls is missing here. The numbers are to quite high as well.

Is that fat natural for the breed or it is only these cows that have it?

I think it is probably natural for very old cows that get too fat.

You know me, I know next to nothing about livestock. It sounds like the place you're caring for is owned by real animal lovers.

The Aberdeen Angus meat is excellent. I feel bad eating the meat when I see those beautiful animals, but I confess that time by time I like a good steak. Swiss cows have horns.

@JudyEv I have steaks no more than a few times a year, but a good steak is a pleasure.
