[QUOTE="TexasJerseyMilker, post: 1840751, member: 42782"] That jersey is way too thin. She's not a first calf heifer anymore so will be making maybe 8 gallons a day or more at peak lactation. They 'milk off their backs' you know and become very thin from producing so much milk. Bull calves are aggressive nursers and the more he takes the more milk she will make according to her genetic heritage. She will get so thin I would worry about her survival. They have to be fed grain. Cubes and hay are what I feed my dry Jerseys but that won't do when they are in milk.
