Having to downsize our cow family is never easy, but necessary. I sold one of my heifers. We called her (Hilda), but the family who bought her changed her name to Willow Ann. She was 6 months old and sweet little heifer, but I can't keep them all.  She is just a couple counties away and I hope they have many good years with her.  She loaded up without any trouble. I said my goodbyes and away she went. |

| That's never easy, especially when they so innocently load to leave all they've ever known behind. It is comforting though to know you've provided yet another family with a cow. |

| She went to a good home. I suggested they get your book, Milk Cow Kitchen if they wanted to get started right. She contacted me and said she got your book. Her kids love her. |

| Thank you for suggesting my book, Janet. Much appreciated!! Good luck sweet Hilda. BTW, my mother's grandmother (her mother's mother) was named Hilda Matilda. |

| Hilda Matilda. You don't hear that name much anymore. Although I think there is a children's book by the name Matilda, or maybe a show. Not sure. Anyway it's unique and I like it. |
