The people i bought her from are getting up in age and are slowly getting rid of the cows,and they are not keeping any replacements,and she was very upset that this one was just going to go for meat.So needless to say i got a good deal on her since i told them i would make a cow out of her.Shes not registered but i have her mothers papers so i could register her if i wanted,but i told them she will probably only ever have black babies.
