[QUOTE="angie1, post: 628980, member: 3886"] This has been my experience as well. I think it is one of the reasons that finishers don't pay anything for them if you try to sell them before finish ~ they cannot compete with the other breeds for finish time. Its one of the reasons I won't buy them. Baby beef animals will use what goes in (milk replacer and grain) and turn it into [u][i]grow[/i][/u] alot better than jersey calves. Steve I am thinking the secret that keeps them from dying out is in the head of a momma Jersey. Have always said when doing rehab animals "Nothing does a better job of raising a baby _______ (insert animal name) than a momma _______ (insert same animal name)." Also ~ it can be done, but it is often not worth the hassle. [/QUOTE]
