    None here. I know them all, milk recording I might only need to get up to double check one or two. It's no load.

    My father knows all the cows. Even the one with no tags ha.
    U don't have a memory like his though.
    He also knows what bull every cow is by and when they calved off the top of his head.
    I can only remember about 25 cows
