[QUOTE="MurraysMutts, post: 1770065, member: 39373"] Noooo. Not THAT Eleanor! [ATTACH type="full" alt="eleanor_3.jpg"]22567[/ATTACH] This one! [ATTACH type="full" alt="20221028_183035.jpg"]22568[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full" alt="20221028_183548.jpg"]22569[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full" alt="20221028_184617.jpg"]22570[/ATTACH] Bessie approved! Ok. So I said I was gonna do it. Here we go-go! Cow - $1300 140lb Steer - $120 80lb Heifer - $50 90lb Heifer - $50 Veterinary - $45 (band bull and vax all) Transportation - $50 (gotta pay for fuel) So the Young Jersey cow and Calves, I've got $1615.00 in.... Kind of, but not exactly. U see, I actually bought 3 other calves when I bought these. I had $260 in them. And they went to a friend for $300. Gotta pay that transport fee etc... So I actually have $1575 in this whole mess! Eleanor has her whole life ahead of her. The place I got her from is total a.i. and the tech can't seem to get thru the cervix. She's a young cow. Calved with first calf in March. Ideally, I'd have liked a fresh cow, as I can run two sets of calves thru the lactation. But availability of good jerseys is the key, and gotta get em while ya can. These are good quality calves. Market is down, so they definitely bought right. And the 140lb steer may get traded out for another along the way, increasing profits, if there is any on this first set. Once these calves are bonded, I'll put Big Sexy with her for about a month before he goes to second herd. So there it is guys and gals! I hope it turns out well! [/QUOTE]
