Do you have guernseys too? Go for it!!!!

I'd love to see you and OKSewGlad take up the challenge ... and I bet we could persuade MamaBear to do it too ..... though she might have to make more than one breed!!! :)
I would have to try it with a Jersey first, less room for error in colour placement. Back in the day when we had to draw markings for registration papers, I wasn't very good, that job usually fell to my mother and brother, as my artistic talent was limited at best. Maybe I would be better using fabric than I was with a pencil and paper :oops:
Years ago I used to draw the heifers' markings. Then we had a heifer with very few spots and had to tatoo her. Been doing it that way ever since.
Oh my gosh - I completely forgot about the drawings when sending in registration papers! I moved away from the farm when I was 18 (just a few years ago ;-) ) and other than visiting, haven't been involved with cattle since.
