My heifer turns a year old on Monday. I am planning on giving her a cupcake for her first birthday. I googled and talked to some farmers and they said it wouldn't bother her, but I wanted to double check. Is that gonna make her sick?

nope. We've fed our cows sweets from the day old bread place. One cupcake is not going to hurt her, However, we did kill a cow with bloat when she ate more than she needed.

Thank you! Would most cows eat it? Or am I wasting my time because she won't eat it?

I bet she'll love it. Cows love sweets. The only thing that might make her hesitate would be unfamiliarity.

Okay thank you

 

[Hereford_Show_Girl]

she wouldn't eat it, but we got some cute pictures! Lol

When do you plan on having her bred? Does she have a name?

 

[Hereford_Show_Girl]

Planning on a year and a half to two years depending on her size. And her name is Mabel

Mabel must want to keep her girlish figure.

But they are really cute photos.

Maybe next time you can mix up some cake (not sure if thats what you call it where you are from) but basically some cattle pellets with some molasses to stick it together- I make treats like that with my horse
