[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 13541"] If she wasn't milking it would be fairly simple, just stay away and have your husband feed her and be the only one she gets to be messed with by. With her milking, I haven't a clue. Now comes the but, we had a cow that my wife had raised as a bottle calf, did the majority of feeding messed with her etc. When she calved she would chase my wife and try to pin her against the wall, if I was around, other wise she just ignored her. That cow till the day she shuffled of this mortal coil was my pet. When I'ld come out of the house she would run up to the fence and bawl like she was in heat till I reached over and patted her. When I would leave she would run down the fence beside the lane till she reached the corner and bawl. When I came home she would be in that corner waiting, run up to the house and bawl till I patted her. I actually climbed on her back and rode her around the pasture. The moral of the rather too long story, you can never tell about cows. Don't let the September heifer get fat, cuts down on her milk secrecration capabilities, can make her harder to settle and can cause calving problems. dunmovin farms > So in her case, being born in > Sept, she would be approximately > 20 months when bred? > That's feasible, after she's > weaned and the other calf is > butchered, she can keep the Jersey > company. > The Jersey is becoming a handful > as she is too attached to me!
