Time to put on your dancing shoes and those bell bottom pants, because we are going to the Disco! Well ok, so there isn't any sparkly ball, but I do have a sparkling young lady for you all to meet. Her name, Four Winds Regis Disco!
Disco joined the farm on March 26, 2011. We purchased her with a few partners, Ray and Earl Lindsey, and Roger. She was brought from the wonderful sale of Four Winds Dispersal. Though it was sad to see such wonderful breeders, Clark and Joy Vilter, sell their beautiful animals; we are very pleased with our purchase. We purchased Disco for $5600. This seems like a little amount, but there was slight problem with her (even though it was no problem for us) Disco is only 3-quartered. This did not stop us. She was just stunning standing in the tie-stall at the sale, and I just had to have her up here on the farm!
This was Disco the night before the sale! I'll use AGA's quote "Possible the most stunning cow in the barn, to bad she is only three-quarted!" Agree a very stunning and beautiful cow!
We brought her home, and she has her own space, and gets lead to the parlor every morning and evening. I even make my rounds to her to hand feed her. HAHA She is a little spoiled, but hardworking and very strong headed!!
She even likes Brandon or at least whatever is on his hands!
But anyways, last night Brandon didn't make it into the house until nearly midnight, I went in about eleven. Last night was the BIG day!! FLUSH DAY for Disco! The day to see if she was a great purchase. Everything went well, the vet palpated her to check her out, and the news not so hot. "She didn't ovualte to good, and a possible cyst, but could have a couple." Ok so things are looking up.
Flushing went smooth, and after long pacing times (done by Brandon), we went to check to see how many embryos. 3 GOOD ones!! Yay we were so excited with just three, then he found another!! We then later get a text that a 5th has been found!!
We are very pleased to have recieved 4 really good embryos, and 1 that will work!
So was Disco worth the purchase? I think so! Even if she does not ever produce eggs, I will LOVE her just as much! How could you not love such a face?
Disco is beautiful! We have one Guernsey in our herd that belongs to my oldest son from a 4-H project. She is very special! Thanks for sharing.
