Photo of the Month

Does she know how to strike a pose, or what? Let's be honest, though. Every side is a good side for jovial gal Gumdrop, who always puts her best hoof forward.


We took advantage of a recent spring-like day to shoot photos of Gumdrop and 31 other cows who will appear on our annual Farmer Blake's March Milk-It Bracket. Want to compete in this year's contest? Scroll below for details.

Cow of the Month

Our March Cow of the Month is very vocal when she wants something. (Exhibit A: Her mid-moo photo.)


And what Jogger wants is cuddles. All the time. She likes to rub her head against people and receive head scratches in return. Make no mistake. This delightful gal will love you 'til the cows come home!


Jogger also likes to be first in the milking parlor, and we gladly oblige. She is currently the top-producing cow in our herd, milking about 15 gallons per day.


At 4 1/2 years old, Jogger has had three calves: two boys and a girl.
