NewHope Buttercup Milkmaid

This is another nicely put together, balanced heifer by Milkman, with plenty of depth from Bunny.  She is being named after Belle Fourche Buttercup, who is both Bunny’s granddam & Milkman’s great-granddam.  I’m very happy with how she’s turning out so far.

Butters is a great momma and has the lovely udder she was bred for. She was extremely easy to train to milk on her first lactation & has good production. Unfortunately, on her second lactation this year, she has decided to be a kicker. She is also halter trained.

See Buttercup’s baby picture below. The second, larger photo below was taken at 3 months old.  The third photo is from August 2017, and the last one is from Jan 2020.

10/16/20 SOLD! Butters has gone to her new home in Taylorsville, KY.
