House cow in Wisconsin still milks memories after 25 years
In 1956 a Guernsey calf born on Ted Steien’s Curran farm grows into perhaps the oldest dairy cow in west central Wisconsin. Now 25, she still grazes pastures and supplies milk for the Steien breakfast table. The aging cow has produced calves for 21 years straight and remains the town’s enduring “house cow” as Steien contemplates selling the farm this fall.
