[QUOTE="djinwa, post: 687064, member: 8265"] Okay, so I hear you all talking about dairies wanting to cross with beef. I'm a small acreage guy who just wants a single small cow for milk and meat. My ideal is a lowline angus/Jersey cross, one of which I now have. But in case my cow dies (100% death rate), I'm thinking of how to get another one. So I called a local Jersey dairy and asked if she'd cross one of her cows with lowline semen. She got all offended and told me how much she can get for a dairy heifer. Even though I told her I'd pay that much, she wanted nothing to do with the idea. So I got on the Jersey directory and emailed 4 Jersey dairies in the state and asked if they'd make me a heifer and I never heard from them. Wonder if I should try again now with the lower milk prices - maybe dairy heifers in less demand? [/QUOTE]
