Welp, Pardon my ignorance but in a few weeks i plan on buying either some Bred Cows or Heifers from a guy down the road for a late christmas present for my dad, but he only has experience with steers. and i didnt want to sound like an idiot in front of the guy so i just shook my head when he...

We had used it. works good.

That cows udders almost as big as the poor calfs head hahahah its beutiful lil calf you got there 8)

this is our 2nd year getting into the cattle biz. First year we just did 1 Holstein for our own beef. this year we wanted to just do bottle calves then sell them at like 500-600 lbs.. and i can see how you can make a profit off from them. But we havent sold them yet so i cant answer your...

We bought all 18 of our jerseys bull calves for 8-15$ each. Cheap? Yes.

Ok sorry in advance for hi-jacking your thread. BUT. A Bull/Heifer Twin Pair. The Heifer Will Be Not Breedable. But In A Herifer/Heifer Twin Pair.. They are both Breedable? or am i just a retard?

glad i asked the question, since im new to the hole ordeal. i just figured throw a bunch of calves on a jersey cow, and the jersey's mother instincts would kick in and just feed the other calves right away. I dont know i may just do my original idea, of just buying 200 lb steers, anywhere from...

20. and i forgot to think that far ahead :oops:

Well, i got a plan on what i want to do, but im not quite sure if it will work or not, so im looking for some insight on what ya'll will think about this plan. Come march/april time, i plan on buying 5 Bred Jersey Cows. Once the baby drop's, i would purchace 4 Semmintal calves per Jersey cow...

save them as .png, instead of .jpg then upload them on imageshack.us and then your pic's should be the size of the original photo ;)

No we are not dairy, we just geting our feet wet. Out plan was to do the Ang/Jerz mix, since the jerz hef's will have an abundance of milk, we could put some more money into young calves and put them in with the momma. and build up the farm slowly like that.

We where going to do Angus Bull to Jersey Heifers, Then where planning on selling at the sale barn. Planned on only having 5 Hef's and 1 Bull at first then grow the operation outward throught the years. - But that chalois cross sounds very intrigiung i tell you that much

thx for the replies guys.

Has anyone ever cross bred these two type of cows.. and would you recomend others to do it? what would be the pro's of doing it? and the possible cons. its what im looking to do, i think the cows would be pretty, and be the best of both worlds with relativly good marketing ability id think...

Thats initialy what we thought was just hair being rubbed away from laying on the ground, which is very hard clay.

i dont really know much about the type of milk replacer that was used all i know is, that it was bought from Tractor Supply CO, and It was 75$ Smackarooz. I Will PM Those people, to dig into there brain a lil bit like im doing to you :P Belive me iam very thankful for your advice. Here are...

belive me, no disrespect is taken, its out first year doing this, we know there is alot to learn. How many weeks/months do you keep your calves on milk? What all would you suggest to make this calf and others that you've not seen become more healthier and filled out.

Its been, 15-20 lbs of feed at each feeding time. Twice a day. 10am - 6pm usualy. thats 8 calves sharing the feed. TBH = To Be Honest.

Thanks alot guys with the feedback. My father was thinking its no big deal, ME i told him id be best to come here and ask some more knowledgable people. Its his first year doing this. and ive been helping when i could. TBH, this has been the first bottle its had in awhile, we've been slowly...

We've got this calf, and we bought it about month or 2 ago, and its been growing good, but now it's popped up with this random issue. Not sure if these photos give you a good enough look at what the problem is. Patches of skin are missing in random places all of a sudden, around the nose...
