[QUOTE="bulldog, post: 167630, member: 3099"] Here in NC I pay $50.00 per head for Gurnsey and Red Holstein/Gurnsey cross from one dairy, and I usually get about 4 or 5 a month here lately, and he always leaves them on the cow for 4 to 5 days. He will not sell them less than 4 days old, he says that he owes giving them a good start to the animal, when I found this guy I thought it was too good to be true, but we have been doing it for months now, and it does make a big difference. So far I have not had any to die or get sick other than mild cases of scours. Also remember that this is a rather small family operation, and that makes a difference too. Before I found this guy I was paying $75.00 per head for 2 or 3 day old calves (Holstein). You can find Jersey bull calves from $35-$50 per head. Here is a pic of my last Jersey that I raised from a bottle, and I do mean my last Jersey!! I got him the first week of September and you can see that they do not put on the size like other breeds.
