Cow of the
Month
Each month I will post a
picture of one of your favourite cows. You will need to send
a photo to the address above or an e-mail to wgcf@guernsey.net.
The cow could be a show winner, but I am also very interested
in cows of good conformation that are top performers in your
herd either in yield or genetic merit. Send me pictures of your
top heifers too.
