They called this one a miniature but she was still around shoulder height on me. She is a show cow so maybe what you saw was the same thing. Up here they sell the minis for $3500 which our friends thought was crazy for a cow like theirs.<br /><br />Abutton - Did you do it by hand or with a machine? The milking is the thing that my husband isn't sold on. He thinks I'll get lazy and make him do it, which I might try from time to time! :)Jenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15171797412090628520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7630316697430231000.post-88616432887616264752009-09-08T17:35:33.310-04:002009-09-08T17:35:33.310-04:00Your vacation sounds like a lot of fun.

I always loved milking our cow--early mornings are peaceful and the cow is sweet and the milk is the best. :) Enjoy the rest of your trip!Abuttonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04512807858986813654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7630316697430231000.post-47261223836643272382009-09-08T15:43:23.911-04:002009-09-08T15:43:23.911-04:00I've never seen a mini-Jersey!
