The "Fancier" Family

Meet Birdsong Farm's newest cow family!
Birdsong Farm's "Fancy" family is the newest cow family on the farm, and was started with the addition of Gaymar Astro Fancier SUP-EX 90-3E in the autumn of 2012. Fancier arrived at Birdsong Farm with chronic mastitis and after testing I discovered that it was caused by Staph aureus, so in 2015 I made the decision to dry her off and flush her. The flush was a success, with two heifers to carry on the Fancy family name. 

There are three cows and heifers in the Fancy family: Gaymar Astro Fancier SUP-EX 90-3E (died in 2018), Birdsong Sweet Summertime, and Birdsong Gypsy Moon.
