This lovely lady is Miss Crooked Nose. She has been a member of our family for about 7 years now and is my mother's pride and joy. It would not suprise me in the least if she has a place in Mom's will. Dad is not such a fan. I know of numerous times when he has tried to sell her, all of which he has decided are not worth risking over 30 years of marriage. Mom is pretty funny about her cows and babies. We all joked last year that the bull they had in their steer sale was going to get his choice of mine or Katie's old rooms. Of course none of us were suprised when they pulled him out to keep for themselves.
Anyway, back to Mom and her cows. When Brandon and I were still just dating he AIed our Herefords for us. (Yes, Brandon AI's and clips, these were the types of things I took into consideration when saying "I Do") So Brandon was feeling up all of Mom's cows while she petted them on the neck and whispered in their ear. Brandon, being the funny guy he is, started walking up to each and properly introducing himself before getting frisky with them. He still does this everytime we run a cow in the shoot to AI.
Mom, loving her babies, will have a hard time this Sunday. It is our steer sale and some of them may be leaving her backyard for new pens. No doubt, she'll get teary eyed. Guess it's just another testiment to what a great Mom and GranDee she is, she loves all her babies with all she's got.
