[QUOTE="Double R Ranch, post: 1840062, member: 411"] Apparently the association has "issues". I have had multiple breeders tell me that. They don't answer their phones or return calls. I have been unable to speak to anyone yet. Another thing I am frustrated with. They did cash my check for a membership however so at least I know someone is still there. We are only AI here. I am looking for lowline semen but put it on hold while I figure out this mess. Actually taking the calves and putting them on our jersey has been discussed quite a bit recently. Our hope is exactly what you are thinking. Raising them right may save a few and have them be decent stock. Why we were thinking of putting them on our jersey. She'd certainly raise them calm along with milking they would have day to day interactions with us. Or like you said bottle feeding them. Not like we won't have the milk to do it with once our cow freshens before they calve. The just plain not worth it was shipped back to the breeder. That cow was down right dangerous. There was no calming that one down. She would quiver the moment she saw, heard or smelled a human. Been a long time since I have seen a head that high. Spent 2 weeks pacing the corrals trying to bust out. The breeder we purchased this initial group from we found through the registries breeders directory. Not a ton of options though on their site or in their previous magazine releases. I am very nervous now to trust since we have had such a bad experience so far. [/QUOTE]
