Unbelievable... After humiliating the highly ranked Ohio State Buckeyes and Wisconsin Badgers and winning the BIG 10 conference, the Penn State Nittany Lions were left out of the National Championship Final Four. The selection committee named the Buckeyes among the final four. Huh?? Enjoy the Winter!

SMALLER IS BETTER? 1. I’ve been reading the articles touting smaller cows are better for the modern dairy. 2. I disagree. TONS of waste roughage can be fed to develop well-grown, large heifers. 3. Larger heifers calve easier. 4. On the back end, these cows bring extra $$$ on culling.
