Brown Swiss Cows at Kelleys Dairy
It was such a pretty day and the cows seemed to be enjoying the second cutting clover hay. I hope I get to put up more like it this coming summer.

Brown Swiss Heifers at Kelley's Dairy
These Brown Swiss heifers are quite gentle as almost all Brown Swiss cattle are.

Cow and Calf at Kelley's Dairy
 Brand new Brown Swiss bull calf born Saturday afternoon at Kelley's Dairy. This bull calf is for sale.

 Mother of the new bull calf. This young Brown Swiss cow is a two year old and he was her first calf.
|
 The very first time she came right on into the barn and put her head down and began eating, She has been a real lady about getting milked, but then again Brown Swiss usually are.
|
 Just look at that udder. When I washed her and prepped her for her very first milking she never moved a foot. Brown Swiss are great about being easy to handle.

Just left click on the photo and a larger picture will jump right up.

The Brown Swiss heifers shown here represent the future of Kelley's Brown Swiss Dairy. They are the result of 23 years of continuous A.I. breeding. I do all the breeding myself. The heifers above are all bred and waiting to calve. They should be calving within the next 6 to 8 weeks. It is always with great anticipation that I await the calving of a heifer. The hottest part of the summer should be behind us by the time they calve and that is good. Hot weather is a strenuous time for them to calve.
We have been raising Brown Swiss for 34 years and have always raised our replacement heifers. It has been over twenty years since we purchased one. The last one purchased was from Mason McCubbin of Springfield, MO. It has been quite some time now since he and his wife, Dorthea, have passed on. He was a very knowledgeable breeder and really loved the Brown Swiss breed. We always enjoyed competing against him in the area cattle shows and learned a lot from him.

Brown Swiss Cows
The cows all looked so peaceful as I went to bring them in for the evening chores that I took a few photos to share.
